Granger assures commitment to US ties

Amidst growing calls by western allies for him to concede defeat at the March 2 polls, caretaker president David Granger has reaffirmed Guyana’s commitment to western hemispheric values.

“Guyana’s strategic interests in the Western Hemisphere were not in jeopardy,” Granger was quoted as saying last evening by the Press and Publicity Unit of the Ministry of the Presidency.

A statement issued by this unit last evening referenced an undated interview in which Granger is said to have “emphasised that the United States of America is a friend and has worked closely with Guyana over several decades through several organizations such as The Carter Center, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID), among others.”

“Guyana is part of the Western Hemisphere.

We have very cordial relations with the United States from defence, economy and security points of view,” he was further quoted as saying.
