We hope to work closely with your Embassy here in Georgetown to bring these projects to fruition. We hope also, to deepen the dialogue between our two countries and to explore and exploit the considerable potential,Donnie Shell Steelers Jersey, which exists for increasing investment opportunities between Guyana and Mexico,” the Guyanese Head of State said.Mexican ambassador, Ivan Sierra, noted that the proclamation of independence elicits pride and joy in the heart of every Mexican. He said at the very heart of national independence lies the will of political freedom and the commitment to build a better life.After three centuries of colonial oppression, the major Spanish colony of New Spain reclaimed her lawful seat in the community of nations as an Independent Mexico.When celebrating their heroic heritage,Ra Shede Hageman Falcons Jersey, the Mexican people renew a shared commitment to build a better future that leverages the strengths of the world’s 12th largest economy to improve the living standards for 115 million citizens.This Endeavour received new impetus under the leadership of President Enrique Pena Nieto, who is implementing transformational reforms in key areas such as education, the energy and financial sectors, democratic institutions and telecommunications.In this light, the Mexican ambassador said major internal reforms should have a direct impact in the diplomatic dialogue with the world and especially with sister nations in the Americas.Reflecting further the ambassador noted that Mexico is Latin America’s largest exporter, selling annually more than US$400 billion to the world, and 80 percent of those exports take place within the western hemisphere.“Clearly, there is a huge potential for a more dynamic engagement with the greater Caribbean,Eddie Lacy Packers Jersey, and Mexico has every intention to work closely with Guyana to broaden the political dialogue, improve economic exchanges and make strides in international development cooperation.”While saluting the vibrant democracy in Guyana, the ambassador made it clear that his country wants to join efforts with the David Granger government to build stronger ties in the auspicious context of the forthcoming celebration of the 50th anniversary of Guyanese Independence.The ambassador expressed the hope that later this month in New York a meeting of senior authorities will mark the starting point in this new stage of partnership.On the subject of capacity building ambassador Sierra said, “In a few days, we begin the project for the digitalization of the national archives. And immediately after that, Mexican experts will provide training in Guyana to secondary school teachers from Caricom nations.”Guyana and Mexico’s collaboration in the agricultural sector was also noted as being diverse and productive, ranging from training of stakeholders in the enhancement of the coconut industry,Matt Ryan Falcons Jersey, to the promotion of Guyanese rice.The Mexican ambassador announced that his country is also expanding training opportunities for Guyanese medical practitioners to pursue specialization in Mexico.Mexico and Guyana’s shared interests in relevant multilateral initiatives was also highlighted in the ambassador’s address to those present. These include the arms trade treaty that recently held its first conference in Cancun,Grady Jarrett  Falcons Jersey, and the climate change conferences to take place in December in Paris.In October, Mexico will chair a summit of the 66 countries that are members of the open government partnership, a forum that is willing to collaborate with the government of Guyana the ambassador said.Being sister nations on the greater Caribbean, Mexico is a quick hop away from Guyana and the ambassador invited friends of COPA to showcase the six destinations in Mexico that are accessible with a connection in Panama, ranging from beach paradise in Cancun to industrial hubs in Mexico City and Guadalajara.Guyana and Mexico are already busy in capacity building. In a few days Mexico will begin the project for the digitalization of the national archives which would be immediately followed by Mexican experts providing training in Guyana to secondary school teachers from Caricom nations.“Our collaboration in the agricultural sector has been diverse and productive, ranging from training of stakeholders in the enhancement of the coconut industry, to the promotion of Guyana’s rice. We are also expanding training opportunities for Guyanese medical practitioners to pursue specialization in Mexico,” the ambassador said.
