Well-known People’s National Congress Reform member and former head of the Guyana Water Incorporated, Richard Van West-Charles, has been nominated as Guyana’s ambassador to Venezuela, an act which government says is testament to its commitment to inclusion.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hugh Todd told Stabroek News yesterday that Van West-Charles was chosen on merit as he is seen as the most suitable person for the job.
However, he is still to be given agrément by Caracas. “He was selected as we believe he is suitable,” Todd said. “We requested agrément and we are awaiting a response,” he added.
