In Costa Rica, President Ali will receive IICA’s award for his Leadership in Food Security and Sustainable Development and pay a courtesy call to the President of Costa Rica, His Excellency Mr. Rodrigo Chaves Robles, the Office of the President said in a press release.

President Ali is also expected to address the forum on global agriculture from the perspective of the Americas and Caribbean Region.

In announcing the prestigious award this year, IICA said the decision to award President Ali is in recognition of his leadership in agricultural transformation, food security, and support for building resilient economies in a sustainable manner in Guyana and the Caribbean.
