GINA noted that the two countries had set a June target by which the anticipated proposals including timelines for implementation of the major infrastructural projects would be reached. The working group was operationalised with the signing of a  Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Guyana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett and  the Brazilian Minister of External Relations, Antonio Patriota in December last year. It was agreed then that the group submit its Report by the first quarter of 2013.
