US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected here in June this year, sources say, which would make him the second holder of that office to visit this country in less than two years.
News of Blinken’s planned trip comes just weeks after the visit of Deputy Assistant Secretary for Caribbean Affairs and Haiti in the US Department of State, Barbara Feinstein.
Blinken’s visit would underscore the growing importance of Guyana to the US in the context of its rising role as an oil producer. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sharpened the emphasis on finding new energy suppliers.
