The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) is getting ready to host over 1,500 military personnel from 21 countries for the joint 2023 Exercise Tradewinds and on Friday appealed to citizens to welcome the visitors and not be alarmed by the heavy military presence throughout the country.
“We know we have a very hospitable country… and this to promote our country the best that we can,” Chief of Staff of the GDF, Brigadier Omar Khan, said at a press conference where the army updated on plans for the exercise that will be held from July 14 to July 28 and spread across regions Three, Four, Six, and Ten. There is also a virtual component of the training and one that will be done out at sea.
