Spain has appointed Brian Tiwarie as its Honorary Consul to Guyana, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Friday in a press release.
This appointment follows a request from the Government of the Kingdom of Spain for the approval of the appointment of Tiwarie as its Honorary Consul, the Foreign Affairs Ministry said.
Tiwarie on Friday received his Exequatur (an official authorization issued by a host country to a consular agent, permitting him to perform his official duties) from Minister of Foreign Affairs Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, officially commissioning him as Honorary Consul of the Kingdom of Spain.
The release said that Tiwarie is a citizen of Guyana by birth and has prior experience as an automotive and construction engineer and is involved also in quarrying and mining.
He is currently a member of the Private Sector Commission, Guyana Manufacturing and Services Commission Limited and the Managing Director of the BK Group of Companies.
“The appointment of Mr. Tiwarie as Honorary Consul of the Kingdom of Spain in Guyana will provide an opportunity for the further strengthening of the existing relations between Guyana and Spain and the possibility to explore new forms of bilateral cooperation,” the release stated.
Guyana established formal diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Spain on October 12, 1979.
