Guyana may benefit from India's pact with Mercosur

The Mercosur pact "provides Guyana with an unrivalled opportunity to play to its own advantage an expanded diplomatic role. There is already a constructive relationship with Brazil as witnessed by the trade agreement and the project to cultivate the south savannahs - a project which when it materialises will rank in importance with the great drainage schemes of the fifties. With Guyana's experience in South/South cooperation it is uniquely placed to help advance President da Silva's ideas on that front. In such a role, Guyana could position itself to become a major promoter of the interests of small developing states with the G-20. Nothing would enhance Guyana's security and economic prospects more than to be seen to be playing a vanguard role in international affairs as happened once before."

I'll be watching to see if this all plays out as Guyana thinks.
