TT, Guyana strengthen ties

A statement issued by the Office of the Prime Minister indicated that the MOU was signed in 2013 under the former Kamla Persad-Bissessar administration.

Agreement was reached between TT and Guyana for the resuscitation of a high level joint committee to ensure that agreements between both countries are implemented.

This committee will hold its first meeting in TT on March 30 and will meet at least twice per year, alternately in TT and Guyana.

Each party will be able to request additional meetings if necessary.

Rowley and Granger identified several areas where agreements between TT and Guyana existed but had either expired or were not fully operationalised. Rowley was accompanied by Foreign and Caricom Affairs Minister Dennis Moses and Press Secretary Arlene Gorin George. Granger’s delegation included Foreign Affairs Minister Carl Greenidge, Natural Resources Minister Raphael Trotman and Agriculture Minister Noel Leroy Holder.
