US Vice President Kamala Harris’s Special Advisor for the Western Hemisphere, Joseph Salazar, and Deputy Director for the Western Hemisphere Affairs (WHA), Office of Caribbean Affairs, Michael Taylor will visit Guyana from March 12-14, 2023.
A statement today from the US Embassy said that during their visit, the delegation will meet with government officials, business leaders and non-governmental organizations leading on issues of governance, security and prosperity.
