President David Granger yesterday invited the Middle East state of Qatar to consider ways of investing in the development of the emergent oil and gas sector here.
A release from the Ministry of the Presidency said that he made these remarks when he accepted the Letters of Credence from Mohammed Ahmad Al-Hayki, accrediting him as the new Non-Resident Ambassador of Qatar to Guyana. Al-Hayki will be based in Brasilia, Brazil.
During the Accreditation Ceremony, which was held at State House, Granger said that Guyana and Qatar have utilised their membership in organisations such as the United Nations and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation to advance their shared interests. This, he said, is a reflection of the two countries’ confidence in multilateral diplomacy to address international issues which are beyond the capacities of single states, strong or weak, rich or poor.
