VENEZUELAN President Nicolas Maduro will be making a state visit to Guyana on Saturday, August 31.
At his weekly post cabinet media briefing yesterday, Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon disclosed that the programme for the state visit is set for the Guyana International Conference Centre (GICC) at Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown.
He advised that the visit will see a series of meetings with President Maduro and state and government, and civil society entities.
Maduro is the successor to the late Bolivarian Republic’s Leader, Hugo Chavez, and was installed as Venezuela’s new president after the April 14 polls, following Chavez’s death in March of this year.
The visit will be his first, since becoming President, to a country that has maintained a longstanding, fruitful and mutually beneficial relationship with Venezuela for a number of years.
As former Venezuelan Vice President under Chavez’s fourteen-year rule, Maduro visited Guyana on several occasions, and often led the welcoming party when government officials from Guyana visited that country.
