Following a trilateral meeting on Wednesday, Guyana, Brazil and Suriname have agreed to establish working groups on infrastructure, energy and security.
A communique yesterday from the meeting which saw the attendance of the three presidents: Irfaan Ali, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Chandrikapersad Santokhi of Guyana, Brazil and Suriname respectively, said they also recommitted their respective countries to work unceasingly towards the maintenance of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace and of cooperation for sustainable development.
This commitment is seen as crucial for Guyana which has been the subject of aggressive and threatening behaviour by Venezuela over the border controversy between the two countries.
