Air Force Brigadier General Marc Le Bouil, Commander of the Armed Forces in French Guiana, has reaffirmed his country’s support to peace and security amid the current regional challenges, according to a release today from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF).

General Le Bouil led an 11-member delegation to Guyana for a courtesy call with Chief of Staff Brigadier Omar Khan and other key members of the Guyana Defence Force leadership.

The release said that during the discussions, Brigadier Khan warmly welcomed the delegation, emphasizing the enduring friendship between the two organizations. He highlighted Guyana’s commitment to partnerships with military allies that share common values, particularly a respect for international laws.

The release said that Le Bouil underscored the significance of his visit, emphasizing the continued commitment of France and its Armed Forces to a strong friendship with Guyana and maintenance of stability in the region.

The visit by the Commander of the Armed Forces in French Guiana is the latest in the series of visits by military officials from friendly countries in the wake of the tensions created by Venezuela over its border controversy with Guyana.
