“I presented this to Cabinet, and there is an endorsement of us hosting this conference…we want to use this opportunity to showcase what we are doing here in Guyana,” said Housing and Water Minister Collin Croal concerning the October 23-27 event.

He said that the conference would provide a unique platform for experts, stakeholders, and heads of government to exchange knowledge and explore innovative solutions to the issue facing the Caribbean region.
