President Donald Ramotar is to join fellow CARICOM Heads of State in Trinidad and Tobago for a meeting with United States Vice President Joe Biden focusing on trade and economic development, among other areas, the Government Information Agency said yesterday.
Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr. Roger Luncheon confirmed Ramotar’s participation in the meeting during the post- Cabinet media briefing at the Office of the President.
GINA said that the meeting presents the opportunity for the Guyana Government to make known discrepancies it has been encountering with the US State Department Country Reports.
It said that President Ramotar at a press conference was peeved by the fact that a country with a “less than stellar record on many human rights issues,” is lecturing a country that has made considerable efforts to improve the safety and security of society.
