An original signatory to the Treaty of Chaguaramas, Guyana also serves as Host Country to the Headquarters of the Caribbean Community Secretariat, an indication of its long-standing and firm commitment to Regional Integration.

Mr. President, as the Head of Government with responsibility for Agriculture and Food Security in the Community’s Quasi-Cabinet, your leadership has propelled the sector into an exciting new era. The successful recent Agri-Investment Forum and Expo in Guyana is just one example of the dynamism injected into the sector.
