Dear Editor,
The Linden Chamber of Industry, Commerce and Development (LCICD) extends warm congratulations to His Excellency Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali, President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, on the unveiling of transformative national development plans during the Opening Ceremony of Guy Expo 2025.
The Chamber welcomes and applauds the President’s forward-looking announcements, particularly those which directly address the growth, modernisation, and economic upliftment of Linden and Region 10. We note with great appreciation the President’s renewed commitment to expanding opportunities for industrial development, empowering regional enterprises, strengthening infrastructure, and accelerating investments that can unlock Linden’s strategic potential.
During his address, President Ali highlighted initiatives aimed at improving regional competitiveness, expanding manufacturing and value-added industries, and creating new avenues for youth employment and entrepreneurship in Linden and Region 10. These priorities align closely with the Chamber’s own vision for private sector-driven development and inclusive economic expansion.
The LCICD stands fully prepared to collaborate with the Government of Guyana in the execution of these initiatives. As the leading private sector body in the region, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting national efforts, mobilising the local business community, and facilitating partnerships that can accelerate growth and maximise the benefits for residents, investors, and enterprises alike.
We look forward to continued engagement with His Excellency, the relevant Ministries, and Government agencies to ensure that these transformative plans are realised and that Linden plays a central role in Guyana’s evolving economic landscape. As we welcome the Government’s full support for the LCICD Investment Forum & EXPO 2026.
