Government is standing by its position that it has not received a reply from United States Congressman Hakeem Jeffries to a request for a meeting it sent him.
Up to Thursday last, government insisted that it had not received a reply. “I am not aware [that he did],” Minister of Foreign Affairs Hugh Todd told Stabroek News.
Government sources told this newspaper that Jeffries sent no response “and if he said that he did, he should provide a copy of that correspondence”.
