Led by U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) Chief Executive Officer, Adam Boehler, the group will visit Guyana, Suriname, Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic through October 15th.

Boehler, joined by U.S. Department of Treasury Assistant Secretary for International Markets Mitchell A. Silk and other senior officials from the Department of State, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Export Import Bank, and National Security Council, arrived in Guyana Tuesday.
