A delegation from the U.S. Congress says that it is here to promote a better working relationship with Guyana. The disclosures were made during a meeting yesterday with Minister of State, Joseph Harmon.
The delegation was headed by Staff Director on the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, Mark Walker, and included Sadaf Khan and Tom Alexander. They were accompanied by Chargé D’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy, Bryan Hunt.
Walker, according to the Ministry of the Presidency, explained that his committee also houses the majority of the staff from the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
He said that the team felt that “it was time to visit Guyana”, adding that “it’s been way too long since a delegation from the US Congress has visited. He also felt that the timing was right with the swearing in of a new President, Parliament and Government”.
Walker noted that the intention was to extend a hand of friendship; to foster and promote a better working relationship, and encourage better bilateral relations. He emphasized the bi-partisan composition of the delegation and their interest in meeting a wide cross-section of the Guyanese society.
He pointed out that it was important to interact with the Ministry of the Presidency generally, and the Minister of State – particularly in pursuit of the delegation’s objectives.
Meanwhile, Harmon expressed his pleasure in welcoming the delegation, and alluded to the very close working relationship between the governments of Guyana and the US through the local embassy here. He conveyed the hope that this visit by the bi-partisan delegation from the U.S Congress would foster greater understanding and would open new vistas and opportunities for collaboration and cooperation.
