Earlier this year, President Irfaan Ali welcomed a visiting high-level delegation from Saudi Arabia led by Adel Ahmed Al-Jubeir, minister of state, foreign affairs and included members of the Saudi Arabia Council of Ministers.
Among the key issues discussed were the partnership and collaboration between the two countries in areas of oil and gas, climate change and Guyana’s transformative agenda and investment opportunities.
Guyana is undergoing a transformation, driven by its oil and gas sector, opening many opportunities in both oil and non-oil sectors, and improving access to resources that will serve to accelerate its growth and development, the statement added.
