THE Government of El Salvador believes it has a lot to offer Guyana in terms of expertise in the areas of agriculture, universal social protection, environment, democratic governance, human rights and gender equality. The country’s New Ambassador to Guyana Raymundo Ernest Rodriguez Diaz who presented his letters of Credence to President Donald Ramotar yesterday, said the Spanish speaking Central American nation’s commitment is based on its resolve to develop South/South co-operation through support to priority areas in its partnering nations, according to their national development plans.
The resolve is also based on commonalities between Guyana and El Salvador in achieving the same goals for development, but more specifically, the latter country’s priority to establish diplomatic ties.
President Ramotar described the two countries’ relations as cordial and full of “ample possibilities for greater friendship and co-operation, not only at the bilateral level, but also within the context of those regional organisations where we share common membership.”
As the two countries strive for the same ambitions in a challenging global environment, President Ramotar said the Guyana Government is deeply committed to its efforts of reducing poverty and unemployment while at the same time improving the quality of life for its citizens.
The upcoming fifth Association of Caribbean States (ACS) meeting to be hosted in Haiti this month will be used by El Salvador as an opportunity to renew its regional agenda as it is an important economic and political platform.
The ACS has been one of several organisations in which Guyana and El Salvador have worked closely over the years on matters relating to the development agenda of the region since diplomatic relations were established in May 1992.
Other organisations include the Organisation of America States (OAS) and more recently, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean Countries (CELAC) where the two countries share common membership.
Guyana and El Salvador also collaborate closely within the context of the CARICOM/Central American Integration System (SICA) mechanism where a Plan of Action was established to cooperate in a number of areas including Poverty Eradication; Health; Human Development; Housing; Environment and Disaster Mitigation; Foreign Trade and Investment; Crime and Security; Air Transport and Tourism.
