Guyana attaches great importance to the role and contribution of the national offices of various member states of the OAS.
The OAS in Guyana engages in several programmes that contribute to national development, particularly in the areas of democracy and good governance and the national office is able to co-ordinate such activities, a Government statement said.
“In this regard, Government welcomes the appointment of Dormeus which will allow the OAS work to continue in collaboration with Government.”
Dormeus spent 21 years in the Haiti Foreign Service. Prior to taking up his appointment in Guyana, he served as the OAS representative in Antigua and Barbuda. He is acquainted with the Caribbean and Latin American Affairs having worked closely with various bodies in that regard. Dormeus’s academic background and various positions of leadership have helped him contribute to policy formulation, planning and organising.
