Guyana will participate in the first ever Caribbean Energy Security Summit in Washington, DC on January 26, 2015, GINA said today.
It is to be hosted by US Vice President Joseph Biden. GINA said that Guyana will be represented by Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, Minister with responsibility for Energy and Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Robert Persaud.
The U.S Vice President will meet with a delegation of CARICOM leaders and representatives of the international community to promote a cleaner and more sustainable energy future in the Caribbean.
The Summit will include remarks by the Vice President and an energy security roundtable with heads of government, GINA said.
The Summit is a key component of the Caribbean Energy Security Initiative that Biden unveiled in June 2014, during a visit to Trinidad and Tobago.
