According to the DR Ambassador, Ernesto Torres-Pereyra, this new body showcases just how serious stakeholders from both countries are about collaborating and capitalising on each countries’ strengths.
Already, he pointed out that there have been very tangible gains stemming from the growing Guyana/ DR relationship including direct flights, Presidential visits and Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs).

“I earnestly can say, the best is yet to come,” the Ambassador said.
There is also a Guyanese Chamber of Commerce that is operational in the Dominican Republic. This formal establishment of the Chamber was announced in January on the Facebook page of the Chamber – Guyanachamdr – and is said to represent a landmark action that will set trends in economic and business development for both nations.
The Ambassador also said the private sector in both countries benefit from easy communication among government agencies and a very conducive business environment.

Each country highlighted the progress and perspective in relation to getting the system operational, including forming a company to drive the process.
This company would comprise directors from each country to facilitate operations, the release noted.
This ferry service is important for tackling the challenges faced when transporting agricultural goods and intra-regional transport. Heads of Government within the region are resolute in achieving the regional food bill by 25% by the year 2025.

Additionally, there was an inspection of the Galleons Passage, the vessel to be used, and technical officials agreed that other areas of importance are plant quarantine, sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Matters, immigration, and custom for the movement of people and goods for trade.
These are areas that representatives for each country said are already in place and can be adjusted to accommodate the ferry service. A system for pre-clearance was also proposed for implementation.
In Guyana’s case, there is an existing Guyana and Suriname Ferry Service arrangement to facilitate this commitment by President Dr Irfaan Ali, Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Mottley and Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Dr Keith Rowley. Technical officials from Trinidad & Tobago will visit Guyana and Barbados within the next two weeks to inspect port infrastructure.
And the three countries decided that a follow up meeting will be held to identify and resolve issues and prepare an interim report on harmonising the progress on the immigration, customs, and plant quarantine, in one months’ time.
The team agreed to work constantly to make the ferry service a reality as soon as possible.
