Belize and Guyana took concrete steps to deepen bilateral engagement through the signing of four Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs).

These agreements expand collaboration in key areas, including digital governance and emerging technologies, tourism development and investment, defence and security cooperation, and education, covering scholarships, academic and professional exchanges, and joint research initiatives.

President Dr Irfaan Ali is currently on a three-day State visit to Belize. He is accompanied by Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hugh Todd.

Addressing a special sitting of the Belize Parliament today, Prime Minister of Belize John Antonio Briceño explained that his country can “offer our experience in tourism” as Guyana builds its own tourism product.

“Our geographic similarities provide scope for knowledge sharing. Our expertise in agriculture will be made available and educational opportunities explored,” he added.

The Belizean PM also expressed that Guyana’s experience in digitisation would help his country in its own efforts in this area.
