GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – The Guyana government Sunday said it is strengthening bilateral relations with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and that both countries have agreed to extend cooperation in various key fields of development, particularly in food security, energy, technology, capacity building, as well as cultural and social exchanges.
A government statement said that the deepening of relations followed a meeting between Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE President, and President Irfaan Ali when he attended the United Nations Climate Climate Conference (COP28), which ends in Dubai on Tuesday.
The statement said the two sides also agreed to fortify bilateral partnerships across various socio-economic and cultural development areas.
”The two sides praised the prosperous economic and investment relations between the countries, where non-oil bilateral trade reached US$826 million in 2022, a 20 percent increase compared to 2021, which reflects joint efforts in reinforcing investments and economic relations in recent years,” the statement added.
It said the UAE has agreed to open an embassy here “shortly, embodying the countries’ respective ambition to reinforce their bilateral relations, which will serve their mutual interests and development goals.”
