The Guyana Government is soon to engage neighbours Suriname and Venezuela on security and drug trafficking.
Last March, Guyana and Suriname hosted their second bilateral meeting. At that meeting, both countries agreed to cooperate in a number of areas, including exchange of information treating with piracy; trade in illegal drugs and firearms; smuggling of goods; and the movement of vehicles from Suriname to Guyana.
Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee, said his Ministry is pursuing the convening of a follow-up meeting with Suriname, during the first quarter of 2011, to further discussions on these and other security-related matters.
During 2010, officials of the Guyana Police Force, the Customs and Trade administration and the Financial Intelligence Unit, engaged their Surinamese counterparts on these matters with a view of implementing the decisions taken at the meeting.
Regarding Venezuela, Rohee said that relations with that country are expected to advance when the two sides meet early February, to discuss the Guyana/Venezuela Drug Agreement.
On the Brazilian side, Rohee said that cooperation between Guyana and Brazil intensified during 2010 under the Guyana/Brazil International Road Transport Agreement (IRTA), and the Guyana/Brazil Special Regime.
An arrangement has been formalised allowing for vehicles to enter Brazil, from Guyana, hassle-free, on presentation of legal documentation.
A meeting of the Guyana/Brazil Frontier Committee is scheduled for February 15, 2011, to advance discussions on these agreements. The meeting will be held in Lethem.
