A United States government official recently made a public call for Guyana to have “productive, inclusive dialogue” on the issues of the local content policy (LCP) and the Natural Resource Fund (NRF), which Washington believes can foster opportunities for all Guyanese and benefit the country as a whole.
“We know these reforms are not easy, so through our U.S. Embassy in Georgetown, we are working to help foster communities that support strong investment in not just industries, but people,” were the words of Pedro J Martin, US State Department’s Acting Director of the Office of Caribbean Affairs.
“Taken together, the local content policy and careful investment from the Natural Resource Fund can foster opportunities for all Guyanese and benefit the country as a whole. We look forward to and publicly call for productive, inclusive dialogue on these important issues,” Martin said.
