Georgetown: Former Home Affairs Minister Ronald Gajraj has been appointed Guyana’s Ambassador to Bangladesh.
Gajraj, who also heads Guyana’s mission in New Delhi, India, will be a non-resident High Commissioner to Bangladesh. Gajraj called on the Asia nation’s Foreign Minister, Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali on Wednesday.
He told the Foreign Minister that a joint commission could be formed to identify the areas where the two countries could work together. Gajraj, based in New Delhi, presented his credentials for Bangladesh to President Md Abdul Hamid on Tuesday.
The only English-speaking country in South America, Guyana’s economy depends mostly on commodity exports. The Foreign Minister said Bangladesh could help Guyana, which is rich in ecology, to tap its resources. He particularly mentioned skilled manpower exports like doctors, nurses, engineers and agriculturalists from Bangladesh. Ali said regular foreign office consultation could be a way to give a “structural shape” to the bilateral relations, a proposal the envoy accepted. The Foreign Minister assured him of support during his tenure.
