Fresh from her recent visit to Guyana to attend Guyana’s high-profile international oil and gas conference, Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley earlier this week provided the media in Barbados with a fulsome briefing on her visit, asserting in her assessment of the visit that the discovery and subsequent recovery of oil offshore Guyana had now made the country a “global player” in the international oil & gas industry.
Significantly, however, the Barbados Prime Minister, who in January, won a second term in office, sweeping all thirty seats in the country’s Parliament, focussed by far the greater part of her assessment of the visit on its likely implications for relations between Guyana and Barbados going forward, as well as the expansion of that relationship to embrace another Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country and emerging oil producer, Suriname.
