Guyana is yet to sign on to the Samoa Agreement – the successor to the Cotonou Agreement that the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (OACPS) has with the European Union (EU) – as it is addressing concerns including the matter of refugees, sources say.
However, EU Ambassador here, René van Nes on Thursday expressed optimism that this country’s signature will be added as it seeks answers to concerns before ratification.
“At this moment, 64 countries have signed. Until now Guyana has not yet done that but we have very positive indications that Guyana will favourably sign,” van Nes said at a press conference when asked for an update by Stabroek News.
