APNU meets western envoys

A Partnership for National Unity met with the American, British, Canadian and European envoys yesterday at their invitation on the suspension of Parliament and related matters.

General Secretary of APNU, Joseph Harmon told Stabroek News that Leader of the opposition David Granger was first approached by the EU Ambassador Robert Kopecky on Sunday. He told Stabroek News that the Ambassador had expressed interest in speaking with both the government and opposition prior to the controversial prorogation of Parliament on Monday.

Harmon said that yesterday American Chargé d’ Affaires Bryan Hunt, Canadian High Commissioner, Dr Nicole Giles, two representative from the British High Commission and Kopecky stated that the government and opposition needed to find internal mechanisms for a resolution of the stand-off. He said that members of APNU expressed the sentiment that dialogue prior to President Donald Ramotar’s proclamation to prorogue Parliament had proved uneventful with little compromise.

The Alliance For Change met with the Western Missions on Tuesday.
