Pushing for closer integration with  Castries, President Irfaan Ali said yesterday that during the last 10 years, Guyana exported US$71 million in commodities to St Lucia, while the Caribbean island exported US$79 million in supplies to the “Land of Many Waters”.

The President made this disclosure while addressing St Lucia’s parliament in commemoration of the country’s 45th Independence Anniversary.

While calling for “systemic integration”, between the two countries to advance healthcare, education, technology and housing development, Ali is adamant that Guyana can assist the “Helen of the West Indies”, to advance in its housing sector.
