Guyana and the United States have held another round of discussions on strengthening bilateral relations in the fields of security, multilateral relations, food and energy and climate change. Foreign Secretary Robert Persaud on Monday met with both senior officials of the White House and the State Department.
Also, on Monday a Guyana Delegation led by Foreign Secretary engaged in a policy dialogue with the United States of America on United Nations Security Council (UNSC) matters at the Department of State in Washington, D.C. The policy dialogue sought to build on the technical consultation held in Georgetown earlier this month, with a view to gaining a better understanding of each other’s priorities.
The two sides exchanged views on several thematic and regional agenda items on the Security Council. Guyana’s priorities identified for its tenure on the Council were also discussed, including food and climate security, Haiti and Colombia. Both sides agreed to coordinate on areas of common interests, with the objective of promoting the mandate of the Security Council in maintaining international peace and security.
