Following a recent visit to Trinidad and Tobago where he met with its business community, Guyana’s Foreign Secretary, Robert Persaud says that Vice President, Bharrat Jagdeo’s assessment of that country’s economy’s heavy dependency on the oil and gas sector is “realistic” and that the two private sector heads disputing this are being disingenuous.
Persaud told Stabroek News that he addressed a meeting organized by one of the Private Sector groupings in Trinidad and business persons there are “enthusiastic about coming to Guyana”.
Persaud told this newspaper on Saturday “I was in Trinidad and Tobago, a few days ago, and met with these two individuals and I’m very sure they are seized with their country’s true economic realities. Guyana values our relationship with T&T and stands ready to offer any advice to help our sister CARICOM state navigate out of its current economic condition”.
