Guyana not expected to be adversely affected by Brexit

Minister of Foreign Affairs Carl Greenidge yesterday said he does not believe that the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union (EU) will affect the various agreements this country has with Brussels and London.

“Britain’s commitment to Guyana will depend on the government of Britain and their economic standing,” Greenidge said at a news conference at his Ministry’s South Road complex.

“There is not likely to be any adverse short-term consequence by way of a curtailing of resource flows or curtailment of access, or let us say, sugar or any other commodity into the European Union, whatever may be the case in relation to Britain,” he asserted.
