A senior European Union (EU) official is due here tomorrow for talks on trade and other areas.
A release yesterday from the EU delegation here said that bilateral political matters, trade relations, cooperation in multilateral fora and preparations for the EU-CELAC summit in July are topics to be discussed when the Deputy Secretary General of the European External Action Service (EEAS), Helena König, visits. König will be here from March 15-17.
During her visit she will meet with President Irfaan Ali and members of the cabinet. Discussions will be centred on long-time bilateral relations between the EU and Guyana.
She will also meet with civil society and will visit one of the projects being executed under the EU-funded Spotlight Initiative. König who has a background in trade will also meet with members of the private sector and business community with the aim of fast-tracking the establishment of a full-fledged EU/Guyana chamber of commerce.
König’s visit is the continuation of a tour to Barbados and St Vincent and will culminate with a trip to Suriname.
The EEAS is the EU’s diplomatic service.
