Guyana, UK sign trade pact

Georgetown and London yesterday signed a trade and technical partnership agreement, with President Irfaan Ali leading his government’s team during technical discussions with a delegation headed by UK Trade Commissioner for Latin America and the Caribbean, Jonathan Knott.

The signing was held at the Marriott Hotel and follows up from a March meeting with previous United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

“This partnership arrangement aims to deepen the business, trade and technical cooperation between the Parties. The Parties will establish a working Group and Action Plan to examine specific areas of deeper collaboration with the goal of establishing a Government to Government Agreement for enhancing partnership for mutual benefit,” the agreement states.
