Opposition discusses governance, business climate with EU ambassadors

The two sides meeting on Tuesday

Governance and the country’s business and investment climate were high on the agenda during a meeting between a delegation of European Union (EU) Ambassadors and a three-member opposition team on Tuesday.

The non-resident ambassadors, who hail from Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Romania and Sweden, are on a factfinding mission and over the last few days, have met with a number of key stakeholders including ministers.

PPP presidential candidate Irfaan Ali, who was accompanied by Opposition Chief Whip Gail Teixeira and parliamentarian Juan Edghill, told Stabroek News yesterday that the delegation was briefed on governance, the issues surrounding the holding of general elections, as well as the existing business and investment climate including the challenges facing the business sector.
