Barbados and Guyana have to work on immigration issues -Bajan Foreign Minister

(Barbados Nation) BARBADOS AND GUYANA need to solve the immigration issues that have soured their relations from time to time, says Minister of Foreign Affairs Senator Maxine McClean.

She made her comment while addressing a reception marking Guyana’s 47th anniversary of independence on Friday night.

Noting that the two countries had been able to generally solve a range of issue as they arose, McClean however said a special area of work needed to be undertaken by the Barbados-Guyana Joint Commission.

“That pertains to the management of cooperation issues in the sphere of immigration, on which a workable solution must be found.”

She said that her ministry and the Guyana Consulate had been in constant contact on immigration issues since its establishment here last July.
