With an agenda not yet fixed, a United States government team arrived yesterday in Guyana and will today begin preparations for Secretary of State Michael Pompeo’s visit later this week, Minister of Foreign Affairs Hugh Todd said.
“A team will be here [meeting with various officials] tomorrow; a preparation team. When that prepping team comes, we will have a more formal pronouncement on the details and so forth,” Todd told Stabroek News yesterday when contacted.
The Foreign Affairs Minister explained that there is much to be “mapped out” ahead of Pompeo’s visit as it is the first time such a high ranking US official has made a State Visit here and “with such a visit there has to be lots of security planning and an overall agenda set which requires a lot of work”.
