Guyana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Hugh Todd on Monday urged international financial institutions to further increase aid to vulnerable developing states in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The minister was at the time addressing the virtual European Union 27 and Latin American and Caribbean (EU27-LAC) Informal Ministerial Meeting held under the theme: “Tackling Covid 19 through Medical Cooperation and regional and global health initiatives.” The meeting was held to engage in dialogue and formulate an effective bi-regional agenda, to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, which has claimed 1.6 million lives worldwide.
