US Army General Laura Richardson, commander of the US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) is to visit Guyana from August 29 to 31 to meet with government and defence leaders for talks on the bilateral security partnership between Washington and Georgetown.
A statement from the US Embassy yesterday said that Richardson is visiting Guyana ten months after assuming duties as SOUTHCOM’s commander and nearly five months after meeting with Caribbean defence and public-security leaders during the 2022 Caribbean Nations Security Conference in April in Bridgetown, Barbados.
