Chief of Staff of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Brigadier Omar Khan recently paid a visit to the Brazil Ministry of Defence for a strategic discourse on expanding ties.
The purpose of this visit went beyond routine military exchanges and training, focusing instead on a strategic discourse aimed at expanding and solidifying relations between the two nations, according to a release today from the GDF.
The meeting marked a crucial step in diversifying the ties between Guyana and Brazil, reaching beyond conventional military cooperation, the release added. Brigadier Khan actively participated in discussions that explored new avenues for collaboration, emphasizing the shared interests and mutual benefits of a strengthened partnership.
The release said that Brigadier Khan’s involvement in this initiative underscores the commitment of the GDF to fostering positive and multifaceted relations with Brazil. His visit serves as a testament to the importance of diplomacy and dialogue in navigating the evolving landscape of international partnerships, the release added.
The GDF has been at the centre of stepped up defence diplomacy in the wake of the perceived military threat from Venezuela over its planned referendum on December 3rd on Guyana’s Essequibo.
