Foreign Affairs Minister, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett and Ricardo Patiño, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Integration of Ecuador yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at strengthening Political Consultation between the two countries.
The signing was done at the Foreign Affairs head office, at Brickdam, Georgetown. According to Minister Rodrigues-Birkett, the partnership between the two countries is a step to improving and strengthening our relationship with South American countries.
“We have agreed that we will sign an agreement on our political consultation and this is very important for the two countries. We also discussed other areas where we can share experiences and Ecuador has tremendous experience in terms of dealing with persons with disabilities,” Rodrigues-Birkett said.
She added that Guyanese can now travel to Ecuador without a visa for up to three months, whereas, Ecuadorians can also enjoy a 90-day stay here.
The Minister said that the MOU is a means of bringing our people closer together.
Minister Patiño said that his country, within the past five years, has accomplished economic growth. He said instead of competing with each other, the two countries can now join and work together in the commercial market.
Patiño pointed out that while Guyana will be benefiting from his country, they will also get a chance to know the experiences that would be profitable in Guyana.
