PM David Granger

Guyana – President David Granger has reaffirmed Guyana’s commitment to Western Hemispheric values and to the furtherance of mutual goals and ideals.

The Head of State, in a recent interview, emphasized 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 Centre, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and US Agency for International Development (USAID), among others.

Guyana, together with other Caribbean states, cooperates with the US Southern Command through the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI), which is aimed at combating drug trafficking and other transnational crimes that threaten regional security.

In the wake of the current political deadlock, Granger made it clear that Guyana’s strategic interests in the Western Hemisphere were not in jeopardy, stating that Guyana and the US have enjoyed mutually beneficial defense, economic, political and social relations since Independence.

The Head of State emphasized that Guyana remains committed to strengthening its relations with the US to overcome challenges of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and to continue to build the groundwork for a peaceful and prosperous Western Hemisphere.
