Addressing a reception for a visiting, high-level US congress team on Friday, American Ambassador Sarah-Ann Lynch lauded the government here for making the country attractive for investors and underlined the importance of contract sanctity while at the same time stressing the need for the improvement of the lives of all Guyanese.

Welcoming the delegation from the powerful US House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee at her residence, Lynch felicitated the government here on the investment climate.

With President Irfaan Ali and a number of his Cabinet members present, Lynch said: “We applaud the Government of Guyana for the strides it has taken to make this country attractive to investors.  They have been excellent partners in energy, agribusiness, and security.  They are taking bold leaps to transform the financial, education, health, and tourism sectors.  And, as you have seen, Representatives, in even your short time here, there are major infrastructure projects underway across the country, and the progress is constant.  The government clearly wants to leverage the opportunities they are receiving, and the United States stands ready to assist”.
