CHIEF of Defence Staff, Brigadier Omar Khan, MSS, recently hosted His Excellency Graybern Livingston, Guyana’s Ambassador to the Republic of Colombia, during a courtesy call that centred on strengthening bilateral defence and security ties.

The meeting provided an opportunity for in-depth discussions on advancing the Guyana–Colombia relationship, with a particular focus on Guyana’s defence acquisition priorities and the shared challenges facing both nations in the areas of security and regional stability.

Brigadier Khan underscored the Guyana Defence Force’s (GDF) commitment to enhancing partnerships that bolster national and hemispheric security. He noted that collaboration with regional allies such as Colombia is essential for addressing common threats and promoting peace and stability across the Americas.

The engagement reflects the GDF’s broader strategy to deepen military-to-military co-operation, expand strategic alliances, and strengthen Guyana’s position in the regional security architecture.
