Guyana is building a new city ..– Silica City

Ali said we need still to maintain a rural and ecological society if we are to keep our society stable. As a result, we, therefore, have to be able to look after not only our people but create an export market. And we need to marry that opportunity with the logistics opportunity that God gave us when he put us where he did, geographically.""We're looking for practical things, things that meet the development aspirations of our people, we're not going to build 100 flyovers, we do not need 100 flyovers, so we have made it very clear. In addition to this, we are very interested in Silica City. Now, why Silica City? As you know, 80 per cent of our population live on the coast. So we are building a new city that will be sustainable. This city will have a lot of different characteristics than the existing cities and cities as we know."

He said another development would be the construction of hotels and accommodation for those who are seeking it. We are working on incorporating coding into primary and secondary schools. He explained that all levels in primary schools must be exposed to elementary training of coding and those in secondary schools must develop intermediate skills in software development. "We're trying to position Guyana as a major, high-skilled workforce in the world. So, in positioning Guyana to be a major high-skilled workforce, we are making the necessary investment in changes in the education system that will help us realize this. Only recently, we had a very good meeting with some of the specialists from Google and MIT guides, who are working with us now on structuring an innovation village with hidden uses."

As for the healthcare system, at least six new private hospitals will be opened with one specializing in plastic cosmetic surgery as Guyana recently signed an agreement with Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.Ali suggested the region look into developing wellness centers as the climate and conditions match perfectly with the requirements of these centers. He said Guyana and Barbados have started with food production.He said if the private sector does not work fast enough, Guyana and Barbados may form a holding company to show the rest of the region it can work.


“I end on a good note for my friends in Trinidad and Tobago—whether it is curry chicken or chicken curry, we will have ­curry.”These were the words of Guyana’s President, Dr Irfaan Ali, 42, at the Agri Investment Forum on Friday.
