I met with a US Congressional delegation led by Representative @RepGregoryMeeks on the margins of the 81st United Nations General Assembly. Our discussions focused on Guyana’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, particularly in relation to the upcoming ICJ ruling; the continued expansion and diversification of our economy beyond oil and gas; and developments surrounding the Global Biodiversity Alliance. The delegation, which also included Representatives @RepJayapal and @rep_jackson , reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening the partnership between Guyana and the US House Foreign Affairs Committee, as well as other relevant committees and caucuses, including the Congressional Black Caucus. My delegation included Minister Dr Ashni Singh; our Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett; and Foreign Secretary Robert Persaud.
