Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has held talks with a high-level delegation of French business leaders and investors.
An OPM statement says the meeting was part of Government’s ongoing international investment engagement strategy aimed at attracting major investment, creating jobs, and generating economic growth.
Led by French Ambassador Guillaume Pierre, the delegation consisted of senior executives and representatives from a cross-section of industries including aviation, energy, transport, construction, agro-processing, luxury distribution, maritime services, infrastructure, manufacturing, and technology.
Discussions focused on opportunities for investment and partnership in sectors critical to T&T’s economic diversification and long-term development, including transport infrastructure, aviation services, energy, manufacturing, logistics, construction, food production, and technology-driven industries.
The Prime Minister noted that Trinidad and Tobago’s strategic geographic location, skilled workforce, industrial capacity, and strong regional connectivity continue to make the country an attractive destination for international investors.
She further emphasized that these engagements are part of a deliberate and sustained effort by the Government to open new avenues of economic cooperation with international partners while delivering tangible benefits for the people of T&T.
The French delegation expressed strong interest in Trinidad and Tobago’s potential as a gateway to the wider Caribbean and South American markets and welcomed continued dialogue and collaboration with the Government.
