Executives of the Private Sector Commission (PSC) and the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) will meet with all Guyanese entrepreneurs who have indicated an interest in participating in the upcoming Caribbean/China Economic Forum and Trade Exposition in Trinidad.
The meeting is scheduled for 09:00 hours on Wednesday, August 3, in the GMSA Board Room, 157 Waterloo Street, North Cummingsburg, Georgetown.
Entrepreneurs who have already submitted their business profiles to the GMSA and those who require additional information are invited to the meeting.
According to a press release, the main purpose of the meeting is to inform would-be participants of the logistics for participating in the Trinidad Forum, including the requirements for establishing new business ventures with Chinese counterparts, about required documentation, product profiles, travel and accommodation and other pertinent issues.
Business operators in the sectors of modern clean energy production, construction, tourism, cultural tourism, information technology, agriculture and agro-processing, mining and hospitality especially are expected to attend this important meeting, which is the first of several interactions with the local participants before the staging of the Economic Forum on September 12 and September 13, at the Trinidad Hyatt.
The meeting will be hosted by GMSA President, Clinton Williams, who also holds the portfolio of PSC Sub-Sector Chairman for Trade and Investment, and a senior consul from the embassy of the Federative Republic of China in Guyana.
The Caribbean/China Economic Forum 2011 will be the third one organized by the People’s Republic of China in their drive to strengthen business ties with enterprises from across the Caribbean.
The first was held in Kingston, Jamaica and the second in Xiamen, China.
Statistics provided by the Chinese Ambassador to Guyana indicate that the scale of trade and investment cooperation between Guyana and China has grown at the healthy rate of approximately 14.25 per cent per year.
China has also been investing in Guyana’s economic and social industries for some years now especially in the fields of mining, energy and forestry.
Mr. Williams is directly responsible for coordinating the mobilization of Guyanese entrepreneurs for the upcoming exposition under the auspices of the Private Sector Commission.
