Private sector key players in drive to increased prosperity – SG
Ambassador Irwin LaRocque, CARICOM Secretary-General, has singled out the private sector as one of the key players in the drive towards increased prosperity in the Community.
As members of the private sector, you are key players in the drive towards increased prosperity for the people of this country, and this Region. Also, the private sector has been persistent in its request for a seat at the table, in the Councils of the Community. I have heard you. Our Leaders have heard you.
Last July, the Heads of Government and the captains of industry had a free and frank exchange on the challenges facing the Region. The Ministerial Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED), has recognised the private sector as a partner, and agreed that it must take part in their deliberations in some way,” said the Secretary-General said at the Annual Presentation and Awards Dinner of the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association Ltd at the Princess Hotel in Georgetown, Guyana, Friday 28 November 2014.
