Through the Republic of France, Guyana has made a practical move towards fostering ties with its sister nation on the Guiana Shield, French Guiana.The bi-lateral meeting between Guyana and France earlier this week resulted in agreements on several areas of co-operation, with emphasis on the fostering of ties with French Guiana.A delegation from Guyana is expected to visit that country next week to engage in discussions pertaining to security, the environment and rice cultivation. Agreement has also been reached for closer collaboration between the private sectors of Guyana and French Guiana, and a team from this sector will visit the French colony in June this year.Additionally, France and Guyana have agreed to the establishment of a formal mechanism for regular bilateral consultations between the two countries.This mechanism would afford both sides the opportunity to conduct political dialogue on various issues and promote further co-operation towards achieving greater progress in their bilateral relations.The next bi-lateral meeting between the two countries will be held in French Guiana before the end of the year. |
