Georgetown : Prime Minister Samuel Hinds said physical infrastructure linkages and bilateral agreements between Guyana and its immediate neighbour Brazil have created opportunities which governments of both countries are optimistic will continue way into the future.
The Prime Minister made this statement last evening at a ceremony organized by Brazilian Ambassador to Guyana, Luiz Gilberto de Andrade on the occasion of the 189th independence anniversary of Brazil.
Guyana has a 43-year relationship with its Portuguese speaking neighbour, which Prime Minister Hinds described as a close ally.
“When Guyana established diplomatic relations with Brazil 43 years ago we did so in a spirit of mutual respect and cooperation recognizing the importance of forging strong relations with neighbouring countries in our quest for peace and development,” Prime Minister Hinds said.
Ambassador Andrade said, since the commissioning of the Takatu Bridge, bilateral relations between the two countries have propelled into closer physical ties and new businesses in Lethem, an achievement which Brazil intends to see continue.
The Brazilian Ambassador pointed out that the Government of Brazil remains committed to supporting discussions on the preservation of Brazilian companies in the development of infrastructure projects in Guyana benefitting the two countries.
