In the lead up to the G8 Summit (17-18 June 2013), the ‘Invest in Guinea’ initiative organised a briefing in London on 12 June 2013 at The Royal Horseguards Hotel to promote the country’s new amended mining code and their role in encouraging transparent trade and long-term win-win partnerships.

The objective of the new Mining Code amendments was to strengthen the competitiveness of Guinea in world commodity markets, and align the West African country with international-standard best practices while addressing the concerns of profitability of the investors as well as taking into account the long-term economic development and wellbeing of the Guinean communities.
