Preparations are underway for Guyana to host the second AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum (ACTIF23) that will see an anticipated 1,500 foreign delegates from over 100 countries later this month and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) is assuring that Georgetown will be ready.
“Preparations are ongoing. We had one recce [reconnaissance] team and are expecting another. We were going to use the Marriott Hotel but that changed to the Arthur Chung Convention Centre because it is larger and allows for the breakout sessions… but we will be ready,” Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Elisabeth Harper who spearheads the event for MoFA, told the Sunday Stabroek.
A collaboration between African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and the Government of Guyana (GoG), the trade and investment forum will be held from October 30 to 31st and will also see in attendance, some 22 Heads of Government or their representatives.
