Guyana and Brazil will be re-marking their shared border during a four-day exercise beginning on Thursday, the Ministry of the Presidency announced last evening.
The process was started in 1994 but was stalled for years due to funding issues on both sides.
“The team will look at the marks, repair and update them for posterity. The integrity of one’s country is paramount and to ensure that our integrity is assured, one of the things that we do is to identify the borders to make sure that it cannot be encroached or is not encroached by others. And since we have a really good relationship with Brazil, it is easier for us to keep that border clean, clear and visible to all concerned,” Commissioner of the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GLSC) Trevor Benn was quoted as saying at a preparatory meeting held yesterday at the Ferrari Hotel in Roraima, Brazil.
