Government has decided not to participate in the United States-sponsored Civilian Military Relations Seminar, which is slated to commence from August 11 in the US.
At his post-Cabinet media briefing, on Thursday at the Office of the President, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, said that the Government, its departments, agencies, employees and functionaries will not be participating in the activity.
“It is fit to say that we are not of the opinion that the actual programme itself reflects a suitable input from the Government of Guyana and a request for its purpose in the absence of our integral involvement.
We would not be participating,” Dr. Luncheon said. The seminar is slated to conclude on Thursday August 14.
The seminar aims to help nations resolve issues resulting from defense transformation, stability and support operations, terrorism and other security challenges.
It also assists in dealing with arms trade and border issues. The first regional conference was held last year, and Guyana participated.
