If, at the conclusion of the recent blitz of regional and international gatherings held recently in Guyana that embraced the Republic itself alongside CARICOM hemispheric Heads of Government, high-profile diplomats from across the world and high profile businessmen keen to secure a ‘look-in’ in Guyana’s investment prospects, one such visitor who can lay claim to having had to carry the weightiest official ‘burden’ would be the Ghanaian Foreign Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey.
The Ghanaian politician arrived in Guyana, her visit having been preceded by visits here in June 2019 by her country’s President, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who returned in February 2022 for the country’s Energy Conference and EXPO. These presidential visits apart, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo had journeyed to Accra on a three-day working visit and the Barbados-based Caribbean Export had in June last year led a trade mission to Guyana designed to foster collaboration and explore trade opportunities between Ghana and the Caribbean.
