Hugh Todd

As Guyana works to establish the commission as agreed upon under the Declaration of Argyle for Dialogue and Peace between Guyana and Venezuela, ahead of the planned meeting in Brazil, this country will also swiftly ensure that an ambassador is appointed to Brasilia.

This is according to Minister of Foreign Affairs Hugh Todd.  

The assurance  comes amid continuing concerns that at a time when Guyana says it is using diplomacy to lobby for support globally in the border controversy, there are a number of vacant posts, New Delhi being a prime example.  

“We have an acting Senior Foreign Service Officer (in Brasilia) but we will appointing an ambassador shortly. It has been in the pipeline with (appointments for) other posts…” the Foreign Affairs Minister told the Sunday Stabroek when contacted.
