“A friend, mentor, patriot” – Foreign Secretary of Guyana

Guyana’s Foreign Secretary, Robert Persaud, on Sunday acknowledged the recent passing of Ambassador Elisabeth Harper via his social media page, where he described her as a friend, mentor, patriot. “Guyana we’ve lost a gem. A patriot, a true soldier without any guns. I urge all students of international relations to do a deep dive into her work and commitment to her country. She was a friend, a mentor and the fond memories of her joy and pain will remain etched in my memories forever. Liz, the work and service you gave to our country, your countrymen and women will in time fully appreciate,” he noted. “You served Guyana beyond the call of duty.”
