Argentina’s ambassador to Guyana, Luis A Martino, has agreed to have his country assist Guyana in its fight against piracy through shared experience and expertise.
The commitment was made during a meeting between Ambassador Martino and Vice President and Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan, at his Brickdam Office yesterday.
The two men met to discuss the development of a cooperation project between the Governments of Guyana and Argentina relating to security issues.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Public Security, Vice President Ramjattan underscored that piracy has being affecting Guyana’s fishermen, and he intends to strengthen the Maritime Wing of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to combat the problem of piracy.
He asked the Argentinian Ambassador to share with Guyana, Argentina’s experience and expertise in combating piracy.
The statement said that Ambassador Martino asserted that Argentina has a lot of experience in the area of piracy, and has agreed to the Vice President’s request for Argentina’s assistance.
Ramjattan also informed Ambassador Martino that Guyana would welcome training assistance for the staff at the Guyana Forensic Laboratory, and the Guyana Police Force in the areas of the preservation of biological samples for DNA study and Computer forensics.
The Ambassador indicated Argentina’s willingness to assist Guyana in the two areas mentioned by the Vice President.
The two dignitaries also discussed the Argentina’s House of Justice (HOJ) initiatives, which provide vital social services to citizens in need of such services, and the possibility of Guyana benefitting from Argentina’s assistance in the areas of best practices among others.
The Vice President shared his vision of having a House of Justice (HOJ) located initially in Regions Two and Ten in Guyana subsequent to Local Government Elections, so that Guyanese citizens could have proper access to needed social services.
Ambassador Martino stated that he would make arrangements for an exploratory mission from Argentina to be in Guyana with regard to the areas of cooperation discussed between him and the Vice President.
