GEORGETOWN, Guyana – Guyana will be represented at the Expo 2025 in Japan with Georgetown indicating that its presence there coincides with its National Day that is scheduled for April 27.
The organizers say that Expo 2025 Osaka, which is being held under the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives,” offers a six-month platform for countries to exchange ideas, innovations, and cultural narratives.
The Expo 2025 is being held April 25-28 and the government said that the mission that will be led by Tourism, Industry and Commerce Minister, Oneidge Walrond, “ underscores Guyana’s commitment to advancing international trade, promoting sustainable investment, and accelerating private sector growth through direct global engagement”.
As part of the mission, the Guyana Office for Investment (GOI) has organized business-to-business (B2B) matchmaking sessions with Japanese companies operating in priority growth sectors. These engagements aim to foster investment partnerships while positioning Guyana as a dynamic and emerging economy in the global marketplace.
“Our presence at Expo 2025 is a strategic statement to the world, Guyana is open for business. We are ready to collaborate, and we are focused on expanding our global footprint. This platform gives us the opportunity to showcase not only our investment opportunities but also the depth of talent and resilience within our private sector. Through targeted B2B meetings and high level dialogue, we are creating new gateways for growth, trade, and long term collaboration,” said Dr. Peter Ramsaroop, the head of GOI and its chief executive officer.
“This is more than a delegation, it is a cornerstone of our national strategy to position Guyana on the global investment map. As we engage with Japanese enterprises and explore innovation driven sectors, we are also building the foundation for a future that is sustainable, inclusive, and globally integrated,” he added.
A government statement here noted that the GOI and the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce will continue their mandate over the next six months by maintaining a strong presence at the Guyana Pavilion.
“Their ongoing efforts will ensure that Guyana’s culture is celebrated, its business community is connected, and its national development agenda remains front and center on the world stage,” the statement added.
