The United States Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau is expected to visit Guyana to expand bilateral cooperation and discuss investment opportunities between the two countries.
According to the Department of State, Landau will travel to Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana from August 9 to 12, 2026.
“In Guyana, Deputy Secretary Landau will meet with President Irfaan Ali and cabinet members to discuss expanding bilateral economic cooperation and strengthening bilateral investment opportunities. The visit will also focus on enhancing collaboration in strategic sectors including energy and critical minerals,” the State Department said.
Deputy Secretary Landau’s visit underscores the United States’ commitment to strengthening partnerships across our hemisphere and advancing shared priorities, including regional security, energy resilience, and economic prosperity, the State Department said in a brief statement today.
Just last month, Landau held discussions with a Guyanese Government delegation led by Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh in Washington, D.C. During that meeting, the Deputy Secretary of State reiterated the US commitment to position its private sector to tap into the vast investment opportunities available in Guyana across multiple industries, including mining.
In fact, Deputy Secretary Landau’s visit comes mere days after the U.S. Department of War announced a US$150 million investment in Guyana’s bauxite operations as Washington moves to secure a regional supply chain for refractory-grade bauxite – a critical material for national defence and key industrial base sectors.
