Guyana, EU in wide-ranging political dialogue

The discussions in session

Guyana and the European Union (EU) met on Monday for wide-ranging political dialogue which included the death penalty, LGBTI persons and domestic abuse.

Georgetown has long been pressed by European countries to abolish the death penalty and concerns have been raised in the past about the rights of LGBTI persons here and the high rate of domestic violence.

A joint release from the two sides said that the Sixth Round of the European Union-Guyana Political Dialogue in the framework of Article 8 of the ACP-EU Cotonou Agreement was held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
