The Chilean government has signalled its intention to help Guyana with regulation of its mining sector and according to President Michelle Bachelet there will be cooperation in other key areas.
On the sidelines of the 37th Caricom Heads of Governments conference, Bachelet engaged President David Granger in a high-level discourse.
Bachelet told reporters minutes after the meeting, which was held at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre, that they discussed the mining sector since Guyana depends heavily on gold, diamond, and bauxite and Chile is a “very experienced country in copper” and also in terms of the regulatory framework. She highlighted the importance of regulatory norms that would “prevent consequences that the country does not want…” in the extraction of the natural resources.
