This was done at the historic Yellow House in San Jose, in the presence of Costa Rica’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Manuel Gonzalez Sanz.
Ambassador Karran told the Costa Rican President that his accreditation was an indication of the importance which Guyana attaches to the regional integration process. He said that Guyana and Costa Rica have much scope for bilateral cooperation due to their shared interests in areas such as low carbon development, eco-tourism and conservation.
The Ambassador pointed to Guyana’s growing links with the countries of Latin America and noted the opportunities for Guyana and Costa Rica to advance common positions within multilateral organizations in the hemisphere.
President Rivera, who assumed office three weeks ago, underscored his commitment to enhance the relationship between Guyana and Costa Rica bilaterally as well as through regional and hemispheric bodies such as the Organization of American States (OAS), Association of Caribbean States (ACS) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) for which Costa Rica now holds the chairmanship.
He spoke of the need for the two countries to cooperate in order to strengthen regional multilateral organizations.
Ambassador Karran’s accreditation to Costa Rica is on a non-resident basis. He will continue to serve as Guyana’s Ambassador to the United States and Permanent Representative to the OAS in Washington, DC.
