When Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton yesterday met with United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, he presented a “dossier” setting out what the opposition believes is the marginalisation of people here, along with issues that in his opinion, need to be urgently addressed before the 2025 general elections.

At the meeting held at the US Embassy in Georgetown, Norton said he gave a general indication of the political and economic situation in the country and highlighted several issues that were affecting the people.

The meeting between the Opposition Leader and Blinken was unannounced and came as a surprise to the government, Stabroek News understands. The engagement occurred immediately after a meeting with President Irfaan Ali and members of his Cabinet at State House.
