“You will see new expressions of interest coming out soon. And we are asking investors across the world to participate fully…We are looking at the launch of an expression of interest for a 30,000 barrel refinery. This expression of interest will be launched soon,” President Irfaan Ali yesterday announced at a presentation for the Guyana Office for Investment’s  (G-Invest) ISO 9001 certification.
