Minister of Health, Dr. Frank Anthony, accompanied by Chief Medical Officer Dr. Narine Singh, Director General Dr. Vishwa Mahadeo, and Director of Family and Primary Health Services Dr. Ertenisa Hamilton, engaged in a high-level meeting on Wednesday with a Brazilian delegation led by Ambassador Luiza Lopes da Silva, Deputy Director of the Brazilian Agency of Cooperation (ABC).
The meeting, held in Georgetown, focused on establishing a comprehensive co-operation programme between Guyana and Brazil. Discussions highlighted opportunities for collaboration in agriculture, law enforcement, emergency response, and other critical sectors.
The Brazilian delegation included representatives from the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA), the Brazilian Federal Police, Federal Highway Police, and the Military Firefighters Corps of the Federal District and the State of Roraima.
This engagement marked a significant step toward deepening bilateral relations. The ABC Technical Mission seeks to identify and develop initiatives for mutual support and resource-sharing between the two nations.
Both sides expressed optimism about the potential for shared projects that could benefit the peoples of Guyana and Brazil, particularly in addressing regional challenges and fostering sustainable development.
