President Irfaan Ali is scheduled to make a working visit to Paramaribo, Suriname tomorrow to meet with the Surinamese President Chandrikapersad Santokhi and the President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.
A release from the Office of the President said that the leaders are expected to discuss the formation of an energy corridor, oil and gas and other natural resources opportunities, among areas of common interest.
On Friday, Bolsonaro and a team of officials are expected to travel to Georgetown for a one-day official visit with Ali and his team of Ministers.
Discussions will centre on improving economic relations, energy and food security, telecommunications, agriculture, infrastructure integration and the development of a deep water harbour in Guyana.
Since Guyana offers the shortest and quickest access to the Atlantic for significant parts of northern Brazil, a road connection linked to the deep-water port could also serve the interest of both countries, the release noted.
When the two leaders spoke last Monday via teleconference, they discussed enhancing the partial scope agreement between their nations with the hope of bolstering trade.
They also spoke on topics for further engagements at the Ministerial levels.
