Guyana’s Ambassador to Cuba, His Excellency Halim Majeed will be among the noble speakers at the Guyanese American Chamber of Commerce Inaugural Awards Gala to be held on Saturday, December 10 at the Bonaventure Resort and Spa in Weston.
The awards gala will serve as a holiday event for networking, as well as an informational and educational session about key issues affecting trade and other aspects of business the US and the CARICOM region.
Ambassador Majeed is expected to make a presentation about the business opportunities open to Guyanese American owned enterprises as a result of the re-establishment of diplomatic ties between the United States and Cuba after more than 50 years.
Chamber president, Wesley Kirton says “There has been significant interest on the part of Guyanese owned businesses in the US to tap into the trade and investment opportunities in Cuba especially since December 2014 when the two countries announced the re-establishment of diplomatic relations. Some of these Guyanese American entrepreneurs have also been looking at teaming up with business enterprises in Guyana to take advantage of the opportunities, particularly in light of the longstanding good relations that have existed over the years between Guyana and Cuba.”
