And yesterday the PM spoke briefly about President Ali's upcoming visit. Briceno said his trip will be focused on areas like agriculture and education:
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"It's kind of ironic because at one time nobody wanted to go to Guyana and now everybody wants to go to Guyana. Guyana is beautiful country, I managed to go to the interior and yes I remember going to Georgetown for the first time in the mid 2000's and it reminds me so much of Belize City but now because of the tremendous wealth that they have discovered with oil, the country is being transferred. What we're hoping to work with Guyana is to be able to have some agreements, obviously in agriculture, in tourism, in education and other areas where we can be able to cooperate. Oil, that's something we have to discuss regionally to see if there's anything that can be done. I wish we could have another Petrocaribe program but I think that's highly unlikely."
President Ali lands in Belize on Sunday afternoon - and will be heading straight to Orange Walk via a motorcade, where he will join Prime Minister Briceno at his farm.
He also returns to Orange Walk for a dinner at the PM's house on Monday night.
