The role played by an Indian company in a major infrastructure project in Georgetown was put in the spotlight in April this year (2023).
India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar visited the site of the ongoing East Bank-East Coast Road Linkage project that Ashoka Buildcon is developing.
East Bank-East Coast Road Linkage project is located in Guyana’s capital Georgetown and will serve as a corridor for communities on the East Bank. It will also provide a bypass from the city, where most traffic flows daily, resulting in massive congestion and major delays.
The Minister, who interacted with the workers and senior staff, said, “Delivered by India is a growing global infra reality. Paid a site visit to the East Bank-East Coast Road Linkage Project along with Minister of Public Works Deodat Indar,” he said in a tweet.
“Interacted with workers and senior staff. Impressed by their enthusiasm,” he said in the tweet.
First Ministry of External Affairs visit to Guyana, was accompanied by Guyana’s Minister of Public Works, Deodat Indar.
