GHANA JOINS SURINAME-GUYANA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LED INITIATIVE Source: https://www.caribbeantoday.com/, News, First Published October 10, 2024 A landmark bilateral business collaboration between the Suriname-Guyana Chamber of Commerce (SGCC) and other bilateral chambers between Guyana, Canada and the Dominican Republic (DR) continues to expand, with Ghana Chamber of Commerce Guyana (GCCG) officially joining the initiative. The new partnership was solidified with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Thursday during the International Business Conference held here. The agreement was spearheaded by the Chairman of the Suriname-Guyana Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Vishnu Doerga, who emphasized the importance of a unified platform for bilateral business chambers in Guyana. “We can’t have all chambers creating redundancy and leaving gaps,” Doerga said during the signing ceremony. “The aim is to establish a better platform for information sharing, ensuring that all chambers have access to the same type of information,” Doerga added. “This will help smooth the process of organizing meetings with foreign missions and facilitate a collaborative approach to bringing investment to Guyana.” Ghana’s involvement is particularly significant, as the country is seen as a gateway to the West African region, offering valuable opportunities for trade, investment, and economic collaboration.
