Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Greenidge has announced that Guyana’s Ambassador to Venezuela, Cheryl Miles has finally been accredited after several months of delay.

Minister Greenidge made the revelation on Thursday in the National Assembly, where he noted that “As of yesterday, she presented her credentials to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela … That fulfills an obligation that President Maduro had given in November last year.”

Greenidge disclosed the details while responding to questions from Opposition Parliamentarian, Gail Teixeira. Her appointment was delayed over a grievance of President Nicolas Maduro.

The Career Diplomat was expected to become the first new Ambassador appointed by the David Granger administration since the May elections which gave the APNU/AFC coalition victory.

Mile served a seven-year term as Ambassador to Venezuela until she was recalled in 1993 to serve as Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She spent six years in that post and she then headed the Embassy in Brazil until 1999 when she left the Foreign Service.
