Searches are done through their contacts in the New York area to find people who are interested in investing in opportunities in Guyana.“I am pleased to say so far that we’ve had a number of businesses in Guyana contact us for information and the GABPC is working to develop more leads.”As for the bilateral cooperation between the US and Guyana, Ambassador Jones opined that the record of committed cooperation speaks for itself.According to the Ambassador,Nike Air Max 2018 Release, both countries have something at stake and thus must cooperate closely to achieve benefits for both countries.“I see Guyana as inexplicably linked to the United States, first by people. Last year the embassy found that 70 per cent of people coming in for visas claimed that they had relatives living in the United States. There are at least 200,000 Guyanese living in New York City…this is a living testament to our cultural ties.”Secondly,Aleksander Barkov Jersey, he added, the US and Guyana are linked economically and the two countries are linked by its form of government as both President Obama and President Jagdeo were elected to represent all the people.“While I can only speak for US Government,Adam Larsson Jersey, this partnership includes more than the cooperation between the US embassy and the Government of Guyana.

Let me just reiterate that the US government commits resources where it feels it is most likely to get the best return on its investment. If we don’t see sufficient commitment by our partners in any particular area we are going to be hesitant about putting additional resources there.”He added that equal commitment means both sides are willing to put significant resources towards achieving that shared goal.“I am pleased to say that in specific areas where the US Embassy and the Government of Guyana have shared a vision, an equal commitment, openness to criticism and new ideas and that we focus on results we have accomplished some great things and we’ll no doubt continue to accomplish them.”Ambassador Jones said that the US government has spent $80M to partner with the Ministry of Health to help reduce HIV/AIDS infection in a rate that fell from three per cent to one per cent over the last four years.Over the last four years, USAID has spent more than US$7M to support economic growth in col
