Georgetown (Guyana): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that India and Guyana’s partnership holds new possibilities during an address at India-Guyana Business Round Table.

The minister also highlighted the new focus areas brought up by both countries earlier.

“Underlined that the new focus areas agreed to by President Ali and PM Modi-energy, health and pharma, development partnership & capacity building, agriculture, innovation, technology and defence and infrastructure will be the drivers of our ties,” Jaishankar tweeted. 

He added, “My presence here is intended to take forward the momentum created by the visits of President Ali and Vice President Jagdeo recently. Strong economics will complement shared values in taking our partnership to a new level.”

The Round Table meeting also saw the attendance of delegations from the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Jaishankar said.

CII is a premier business association, which partners with Indian Industry, government and civil society to create and sustain an environment conducive to the development of India.

Jaishankar arrived in Guyana on Friday for a three-day visit. The EAM was received by Guyana’s Foreign Minister Hugh Todd in the Guyanese capital of Georgetown.

The EAM is expected to go to Panama next where he will call on the top leadership and would be hosted by Foreign Minister Janaina Tewaney Mencomo.
