In a significant step toward deepening economic and diplomatic ties with Guyana, British Virgin Islands (BVI) Premier and Finance Minister Natalio Wheatley announced yesterday that Guyanese citizens will soon enjoy visa-free travel to the BVI.
The move is part of a broader effort to strengthen bilateral relations, particularly in light of Guyana’s rapid economic growth and rising international influence.
Speaking at a press conference, Wheatley emphasized the importance of fostering closer relations with Guyana, especially as the South American nation continues to position itself as an emerging global power. He noted that Guyana has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, driven by its oil discoveries and bolstered by its election as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, Wheatley said. “It is a model for sustainable growth and international diplomacy.”
