Dear Editor,
Congratulations are in order to Ms Carolyn Rodrigues on her preferment to the important Cabinet Post of Minister of Foreign Affairs. Her appointment is historic in many ways, and I wish her well.
Unhappily, it appears that her first step seems to be an awkward one. She has already faltered, with the Head of the Presidential Secretariat appearing to have a different view on the question of the Venezuelans donating food to Buxton.
A Foreign Affairs Minister must be intelligent, astute and most of all, knowledgeable. I hope she stumbles no more and can live up to what is expected of the Minister that represents all of Guyana in all foreign countries.
