Food security, climate change and energy dominate president’s bilateral engagements

Irfaan Ali  

In recent weeks, President Irfaan Ali has held a number of bilateral engagements with world leaders and organisations on the sidelines of the various international meetings he attended.

Providing an update on the results of those bilateral talks last Friday during a virtual press conference on Friday, Ali said that the discussions were mainly centred on climate change and the environment, food security and sustainability, and Guyana’s oil and gas sector.

“You will see [some] of the key themes [of] all of my engagements internationally [have] been [centred] around food security and sustainability, climate change, climate action and of course, our deep interests and commitment in addressing the fundamental problems and issues of climate change, including the transitional resources that are key and critical in adaptation and mitigation,” he said.
