Dear Editor,
I would like to congratulate Guyana’s new Foreign Minister, Ms. Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, on her new post and use your column to ask her a few questions.
Guyana currently does not have an ambassador to the United Nations. When will Guyana appoint an ambassador to the United Nations?
Many years ago, it was announced that there will be rotation of ambassadors. When is that going to happen?
As well, another OIC meeting is soon approaching. Will Ms. Rodrigues attend the OIC Foreign Ministers Meeting in Uganda on June 18-20, or will this be another last-minute event? Will the activities of the Foreign Ministry be posted and updated online? And lastly, when will the promised visit of Guyana’s President, H.E. Bharrat Jagdeo, to the Middle East take place?
In the past we have witnessed many embarrassing episodes in which Guyanese diplomats are given last-minute instructions to attend bilateral and multi-lateral meetings; and they are sent without proper briefing, without the necessary documents, and not in a timely manner, resulting in a poor image of Guyana.
A good example was the recent OIC Heads of Summit meeting in Senegal. Guyanese diplomats need to be versed on the history and activities of the forum they are attending.
They should know what to expect, and should be actively involved in the deliberations of these meetings.
It is my hope that the new minister will be given the freedom to change Takuba Lodge.
Raymond Chickrie
