Australia to continue with the expansion of economic and commercial relations with Guyana

Georgetown : New Australian High Commissioner to Guyana Ross Tysoe presented his letters of credence to President Donald Ramotar at his Presidential Complex at Shiv Chanderpaul's Drive yesterday.

“Australia is proud to be contributing to the development to promote the expansion of economic and commercial relations of the future leaders of Guyana and is committed to continuing this valuable programme,” High Commissioner Tysoe said.

President Ramotar conveyed to the Australian High Commissioner the Guyana Government’s appreciation for his country’s support to the development of Guyana’s human resource capacity.

He said that within recent years, relations between the two countries have taken on new dynamics with an increase in the assistance to Guyana by the Australian Government, and collaboration on international issues such as climate change and food security.

The recent passage of an effective Arms Trade Treaty at the United Nations and co-sponsorship for a Caribbean response were partly credited to the Australia- Guyana partnership.
