The Prime Minister reminded the staff that the activity comes at an opportune time since Guyana will be hosting the 37th Regular Meeting of Heads of Government Conference of CARICOM from July 4-6, 2016.
“So we want you to maintain all your decorations for these days during the CARICOM summit because we are going to have a lot of Heads of States coming, including a huge delegation with the President of Chile, because Latin America wants to do trade with Guyana and the Caribbean. We are getting stronger every day, so we have to show our best face and you have started this demonstration with this initiative.”
