Minister of Public Utilities and Aviation, Deodat Indar, held crucial discussions with a Belgian delegation to explore avenues for technical collaboration in the development of Guyana’s maritime sector.
The Belgian team, led by Ambassador Luca Pierantoni, was comprised of experts from the renowned Port of Antwerp Bruges International, one of Europe’s most prominent shipping and logistics centers. The meeting aimed to identify areas where shared expertise could accelerate the expansion and modernization of Guyana’s port infrastructure.
Key government officials, including Parliamentary Secretary Thandi McAllister, Chief Investment Officer Peter Ramsaroop, and Director General Alfonso DeArmas, participated in the discussion. The gathering underscored Guyana’s commitment to enhancing its maritime capabilities, particularly in light of its strategic position in international trade.
Strengthening port infrastructure is seen as a vital component in supporting the country’s burgeoning oil and gas industry, boosting exports, and attracting foreign investment. While no specific project timelines were disclosed, officials emphasized that technical cooperation with like-minded partners can significantly expedite Guyana’s maritime development.
