Guyana has signed an agreement with the Republic of Congo to increase cooperation between the two countries in the fields of forestry and wood industries, according to the International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO).
According to the report, the Memorandum of Understanding covering a five-year period was signed by Agriculture Minister Robert Persaud and Congolese Minister of Forestry and Sustainable Development, Henri Djombo. This agreement will see the two countries establishing and developing cooperation to address sustainable forest management, REDD+ initiatives and the enhancement and development of processed wood and wood-based construction industries.
Recognising the importance of sustainable utilisation of forest resources for the economic and social development of the two countries which boast large areas of pristine rainforest, bilateral cooperation in technical, industrial and managerial aspect of the forest industry will significantly enhance the development of the two countries.
The report noted that other initiatives will include exchange visits by delegations from the two countries and exchange of information on science and technology relating to forest, tree seedlings, genetic material and other forest resources.
It will also see other group studies and human resource training and collaboration in research and production and joint surveys.
The two countries will also explore trading in timber and other forest products and the training of technicians and other experts in forestry related disciplines.
