And while the CEO was making the rounds, the Minister of Investment, who is also the Prime Minister has been out of the country for over a week and the only information that had been previously shared about his whereabouts were that he would be on "duty leave."
Now, if you ask most people what that is, they probably wouldn't know.
But today, we learnt that the PM is currently in Berlin, Germany. He met with a sustainable energy expert from the United Nations Industrial Development Organizations and executives from a German company, to discuss the future of renewable energy in Belize.
The reason for this meeting was to brainstorm for solutions to Belize's sargassum problem, which has become a menace to the coastline. The PM has been leading a delegation of technical experts to Berlin to explore modern waste-to-energy technology. This is to hopefully be able to turn the sargassum into an energy mix capable of contributing to the country's power grid.
The delegation included the CabSec, the Charge d Affaires from the Embassy of Belize in Brussels, the chief tourism officer and Belize's Honorary Consul to Stuttgart, Germany.
