Georgetown : Guyana is looking to move beyond the new rice agreement in terms of trade relations with neighbouring Venezuela.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett in a recent comment said that while the rice agreement is working well, the Government would be exploring the possibility of exporting other local products to the Spanish-speaking State.
Speaking about the impending State visit of newly elected Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro later this month, Minister Rodrigues-Birkett said that, “Venezuela has been a very good friend to Guyana and this visit will strengthen those relations.”
This will be Maduro’s first official visit to Guyana in his capacity as President. It will allow him and President Donald Ramotar to discuss not only bilateral issues, but regional and international issues as well.
Among some of the bilateral issues that will be discussed include Guyana’s associate membership with MERCUSOR, of which Venezuela is the latest full member.
