Mayor George Alfred Mentor on Friday described the official opening of the World Trade Center Georgetown as a “landmark achievement” in the city’s developmental trajectory, calling it a strategic step toward transforming Guyana’s capital into a regional hub for commerce, innovation, and diplomacy.

“It reflects the kind of visionary investment that will help position Georgetown—and by extension, Guyana—as a more modern hub for trade and innovation in the region and beyond,” Mayor Mentor said during the inauguration ceremony.

He called the newly unveiled facility a “historic turning point”, signifying the capital’s untapped economic potential and growing relevance on the global stage. The World Trade Center is located on High Street, Georgetown.

The mayor emphasized that the development will catalyze job creation, professional networking, and entrepreneurial opportunity, offering local citizens access to international markets and a dynamic business environment.

“It creates meaningful connections between Guyana and previously untapped global markets. This center will serve as a gateway for international trade and investment,” he added.

Mayor Mentor also underscored the importance of the facility in diversifying Guyana’s economy. He said it will stand as a “critical pillar” in shaping the country’s civic and economic stature in the Caribbean and beyond.

Also addressing the gathering was President Irfaan Ali, who praised the initiative as a transformative step for the “Garden City.”

“It’s important that we have buildings like the World Trade Center to signify Guyana’s positioning on the global map—one that is transformative for us and for this region,” the President stated.

The World Trade Center Georgetown is expected to serve as a vital conduit for global partnerships, solidifying the city’s role as an emerging center for commerce, diplomacy, and innovation.
