Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo has signalled the need for Guyana and the rest of the region to be a zone of peace, free from the scourge of money laundering, piracy and other illicit activities.

Addressing the opening of the 16^th annual Caribbean Nations Security Conference (CANSEC), being held for the first time in Guyana at the Marriott International hotel, the Prime Minister told the delegates that the region must be clean and secure.

Under the theme ‘Unifying regional action to counter transregional and transnational threat networks’, the two-day regional conference will see defence and public security leaders from more than 20 nations examining threats to the region’s stability, sharing information about operations and strategies, and defining avenues for better collaboration to strengthen security in the Caribbean.
