Energy and food security will top the agenda for bilateral talks when the leaders of Guyana and India meet for bilateral talks on the sidelines of the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas Convention on January 9, 2023 in New Delhi.

For a number of months now, India has been pressing Guyana to purchase crude oil produced from the Stabroek Block.

A report in India’s Financial Express yesterday noted that India has been in talks to buy more crude from Guyana and this had also featured during the visit of Saurabh Kumar, Secretary (East), Ministry of External Affairs four-nation tour to the region last November.
