            “It’s a technology from French Guiana because it is space centre and we are proposing to the Government of Guyana to collaborate with us for that project. But the meeting was very fruitful and we hope to start operations very soon with Guyana,” he said.
            He said that they were impressed with President Jagdeo’s international reputation with regards to the country’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS), and preserving its natural resources.
            He noted that the President’s advocacy and leadership can be useful in French Guiana’s quest for forest preservation.
            “We hope with the leadership of President Jagdeo opting in to this technology, we will be able to bring results to Suriname and Brazil to have a survey by satellite as what we have in French Guiana,” he pointed out.
