NEWS ROOM: The Governments of Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda on Friday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), providing for economic cooperation in eight areas, including tourism, financial services, agriculture, air transportation and energy.
The MoU was signed at State House in Georgetown by Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali and Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister, Gaston Browne.
The two leaders observed that the MoU is another step in the many collaborative efforts in which Antigua and Barbuda and Guyana have been involved since the governments of the two countries, along with Barbados, launched the Caribbean Free Trade Agreement at Dickenson Bay in Antigua in 1965.

Recalling that Antigua and Barbuda has been home to a significant number of the Guyanese diaspora for decades, President Ali remarked that there is every basis for the strengthening of economic relations between the two countries, bringing benefits to their people.
“This agreement will open opportunities for the private sectors of both countries in several sectors, including tourism in which Antigua and Barbuda is regarded as a world leader”, Prime Minister Browne said.
He added that financial institutions will also be able to cooperate in expanding the range of services offered to their clients.
On regional air transportation, President Ali noted that transportation was identified by CARICOM Heads of Government, who attended the Agri-Invest Forum in Guyana this week as “an important factor in achieving food security in the Caribbean”.
“Therefore, we will closely examine the possibility of collaborating with Antigua and Barbuda in the provision of air transportation as an important element in moving produce from Guyana to other parts of the region.”

The two leaders will establish a Working Group by June 7 with a mandate to examine and make recommendations on ways to implement the areas of cooperation as early as possible. (Modified press release from Office of the President)

What’s the purpose of this of we are all supposed to be in caricom?
It would be better not to say anything, than to open your mouth and show how ignorant you are. Caricom is a treaty. The two countries are signing an MOU. Not a treaty.
Each Guyanese citizen living in Antigua/Barbuda(dem nar goh a Redonda, cause non money nar hustle dey), or who have lived here should be each given a million dollars each, from the Oil_Boom(dem say fossil fuel, a mash up de wurl wid global warming fram dem fossilised engines, machinery etc, but $$$$ Jaffa mek n spend), and the million’s can only be spent in Antigua, Barbuda & REDONDA!
I know, life’s ‘A Dream Within A Dream!’
You know what, I mean
But, Dreams, visions do become truth.
And, here’s hoping for such
Would, this be asking too much!
As, we set a new route!
Around the Caribbean Sea
East West North and South
Going forth!
To benefit all you see
From Sea, to Shning Sea!
