President Dr Irfaan Ali on Wednesday received Letters of Credence from the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Federative Republic of Brazil, Maria De Castro Martins at the Office of the President.
During the accreditation ceremony, President Ali underscored the special relationship between Guyana and Brazil and their common values and principles, especially in relations to people-centred development.
The Head of State also spoke of collaborations in areas such as energy, agriculture, forest management and infrastructure and about the “ever-deepening relations between the two nations”.
Ambassador Martins said that her mission was to work on ensuring that the agendas of both countries were fulfilled.
Guyana and Brazil established diplomatic relations on December 18, 1968.
Only last month, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was in Guyana for the 46th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Caricom Heads of Government, which was held in Georgetown.
In bilateral talks during his two-day visit, President Lula invited Guyana to present its model for forest preservation at the upcoming 2024 Group of 20 (G20) Summit set for July in Brazil.
