The Director General of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), Dr. Víctor Villalobos, will pay an official visit to Guyana from September 6 -9.  This is his first official visit to the country since his appointment as Director General of the Institute on January 15 this year.
The IICA Delegation from the Institute’s Costa Rica Head Office, led by the Director General, will include the Deputy Director General – Karen Lezny, Director of Regional Management and Integration – Victor del Angel and Director of Technical Cooperation – James French.
The visit will present an opportunity for the new Director General to obtain a first-hand perspective of IICA’s activities in the Caribbean in general and those in Guyana in particular.  He will also discuss ways to enhance IICA’s Technical Cooperation Agenda for the Caribbean Region.
According to IICA, the Director General will address the Institutional Planning and Management Meeting of IICA’s Caribbean Offices at the Guyana International Conference Centre, Pattensen, Greater Georgetown. This meeting is an essential component in the formulation of a new Agricultural Development Strategy for the Caribbean, bearing in mind the uniqueness of the Caribbean Region within the Institute’s Hemispheric Programme, consistent with the Medium Term Plan (MTP) approved by the Hemispheric Ministerial Meeting in Jamaica, October, 2009.
During the visit, the Director General is expected to meet with President Bharrat Jagdeo, Minister of Agriculture – Robert Persaud, Minister of Foreign Affairs – Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett and CARICOM Secretary-General – His Excellency Dr. Edwin Carrington.
