Just over half a century after formal diplomatic relations between Guyana and Mexico were established in 1973, Mexican Ambassador to Guyana Mauricio Vizcaíno–Crespo has announced that bilateral economic relations between the two countries will be further deepened with the establishment of a Guyana-Mexico Chamber of Commerce by the end of this year that will focus on fostering ties between businesses from the two nations by the end of 2024. The Mexican envoy made the announcement on Thursday September 12 at a reception held in Georgetown to celebrate the 214th Anniversary of Mexico’s Independence on August 14, 2021.
The announcement of the establishment of a Guyana-Mexico Chamber likely signals accelerated business/ commercial relations between the two countries at a juncture where Guyana’s petro profile would appear to be contributing to the creation of credentials that positions the country to share the table occupied by the economic giants of the hemisphere.
