Foreign Affairs Minister says farewell to Brazilian Ambassador
Minister Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett donates a painting to the departing Brazilian ambassador
On Monday, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, hosted a reception for the outgoing Brazilian Ambassador to Guyana, Arthur Meyer.
During Ambassador Meyer’s four-year tenure, the Governments of Guyana and Brazil reached an agreement on new insurance limits under the Guyana / Brazil International Road Transport Agreement (IRTA).
Guyana also benefitted from a total of 10,000 doses of yellow fever vaccines to boost its current supply, and from enhanced collaboration between the Ministry of Agriculture and the Brazilian Cooperation Agency following the conclusion of four technical cooperation Agreements in the areas of corn production, rice production, aquaculture and forestry management.
A Protocol of Intentions was concluded between the two countries during the last quarter of 2008 which provides the framework for collaboration in the postal sectors.
Meanwhile, there will be greater collaboration between the military forces of Guyana and Brazil, which is to be formalised with the signing of a Defence Agreement that has already been negotiated.
