Foreign Policy
Guyana's foreign policy is dominated by the Venezuela territorial dispute and the management of its newfound oil wealth. It seeks international support for its sovereignty over the Essequibo through the ICJ and bilateral diplomacy with allies.
Guyana balances its CARICOM membership with engagement in South American regional bodies. The oil boom has attracted significant investment from ExxonMobil and other international companies, deepening ties with the US and UK. Guyana advocates for equitable benefit-sharing from natural resources and positions its forests as a global climate asset.
