Guyana and Japan reaffirm their commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation, with talks focused on expanding trade and investment links. The discussions take place in Georgetown, following meetings between senior Guyanese officials and Japan’s State Minister of Foreign Affairs, Iwao Horii/Horri.
Foreign Secretary Robert Persaud meets with Horii/Horri at Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation on South Road, Georgetown. Sources also report the talks cover climate change, technical cooperation and security, alongside commercial and investment matters. Another report adds that Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh meets with Horii/Horri and a Japanese team at Guyana’s Ministry of Finance.
Across the outlets, the emphasis is broadly similar: both sides want deeper economic engagement and broader cooperation. The main difference is which Guyanese official is highlighted—Foreign Secretary Persaud in some accounts, and Finance Minister Ashni Singh in another—rather than a divergence in the issues discussed.
