Guyana’s President, Irfaan Ali told his Dubai audience yesterday that the country needs investment in order to convert its abundant natural resources into prosperity for all and have its citizens enjoy high standards of living.
The President at the time was speaking at EXPO 2020, a world expo currently hosted by Dubai in the United Arab Emirates from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022. Originally scheduled for 20 October 2020 to 10 April 2021, it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite being postponed, organisers kept the name Expo 2020 for marketing and branding purposes.
Guyana’s theme at Expo2020 is ‘Home of Nature, Land of Opportunities’ and there was a cultural presentation yesterday by Guyanese artistes.
