President David Granger yesterday met with Hamley Case and Clarissa Riehl who have been appointed to head Guyana’s diplomatic missions in the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada respectively.
Riehl who departs Guyana for Canada on Friday, said that the Head of State has given clear guidelines of what he expects from this new cadre of diplomats, which essentially is to advance the country’s economic interests internationally.
“This is my first time as a diplomat, but I intend to give this position my best shot and use my office to help push Guyana in the very sense,” Riehl said.
Meanwhile, Case, who is scheduled to arrive in the UK in two weeks, said that the concept of economic diplomacy, which is lobbied by the President, is not new to him, since as a member of the private sector he has always worked to attract foreign direct investments to Guyana.
”I plan to extend on my efforts in terms of contacting and befriending potential investors, trying to increase Guyana’s potential as a good host for investment. This is what I have been doing for myself, and to be doing it for the nation is much more fulfilling and gratifying than just doing it for oneself as a businessman,” Mr. Case said.
The two officials were among a number of new appointments to foreign posts abroad, amidst a shakeup for the David Granger-led administration which took office last year.
