Belize’s opening of a High Commission here underscores its intent to enhance its bilateral ties with Guyana and strengthen its presence in South America, according to its envoy here.
“We established bilateral relations 43 years ago, which coincides with when we gained independence in 1981,” stated High Commissioner Gale Miller-Garnett in an interview with Stabroek News. A formal commissioning of the High Commission is set for September. This is Belize’s first High Commission anywhere in CARICOM.
In 2022, Guyana and Belize strengthened their longstanding bilateral relationship through a new framework agreement, building upon a Memorandum of Under-standing initially established in 2016.
