“Today we see another private investor, a company that has worked with us as a nation for over 32 years, weather the storm and now expanding and bringing in new partners so that we can be properly positioned for Guyana’s infrastructural development and modernisation that is taking place. So, welcome FOTON.”

Ambassador Yang also highlighted the significance of the moment:
