Guyana has strengthened its security relationship with the United States of America.
United States Ambassador to Guyana, Nicole Theriot, on Monday welcomed a “deeper U.S.-Guyana security relationship,” as Washington announced additional funding to help the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country better combat crime, enhance the rule of law, and integrate effectively into the Regional Security System (RSS).
Addressing the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) signing ceremony, the US diplomat said that she welcomed the deepening of the US partnership with Guyana under the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI) to address shared security challenges and to support the government’s objectives of building an inclusive, transparent, and more efficient criminal justice system.
She said under CBSI, the US Department of State’s INL partners with like-minded policymakers to deliver holistic, tailored, and strategic capacity-building programmes in Guyana and across the region to help disrupt organized crime and to promote citizen security and criminal justice institutional reforms.
