Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana signed a Memorandum of Understanding as two countries are looking into the methods of establishing a cargo ferry service to transport goods and passengers.
Hugh Todd, Guyana's Foreign Affairs Minister, and Amery Browne- Trinidad and Tobago's Foreign Affairs Minister signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Sunday that will remove non-tariff barriers and look into fixing a number of issues that could affect the morning agricultural and agro-processing sectors.
The agreement was also signed in State House in Georgetown, Guyana, by President Mohamed Irfaan Ali and Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley of Trinidad and Tobago.
President Mohamed Ali claimed the two countries "cannot operate together until the platform allows it" when announcing discussions on the "Cargo Plus Ferry Facility." He lauded the MOU's signing.
Both Foreign Ministers were instructed to treat the MOU as a project rather than the typical operation style of the Foreign Affairs Ministry. "This must be addressed differently to be successful," Guyana's President said.
The signing of this MOU took place as the Agri Investment Forum in Guyana comes to a close.
Besides this, the two countries also agreed on cooperation on a number of subjects such as agriculture and food security, security, energy, infrastructure, trade and investment.
