In remarks prior to a meeting with President Irfaan Ali at the United States Mission to the United Nations, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken pledged support for Guyana’s territorial integrity and lauded this country’s leadership in CARICOM.
According to a statement from the White House, Blinken said “Mr. President, thank you so much for being here today. And thank you even more for the partnership that we’ve had between our countries. And I have very fond memories of my visit and the incredible hospitality of our friends and colleagues in Guyana.
“And we see this partnership in what we’re doing together. We see it in the work that we’re doing together not only between us but also, for example, in Haiti. Guyana’s leadership in CARICOM has been critical. And together, I hope we’ll continue to support the Multinational Security Support mission for Haiti, to help our friends there deal with the gangs, deal with the violence, and get on a strong democratic track. And we’re grateful for the partnership between Guyana and the United States in supporting those efforts.
