Ms. Donnette Streete
Frontiers Department

The Frontiers Department is responsible for facilitating the management of Guyana’s relations with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Republic of Suriname both in the context of the preservation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty and maritime spaces of Guyana as well as the promotion of bilateral cooperation with these two countries.

The Department also facilitates the protection of Guyana’s rights and the execution of its obligations in the context of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

The Department in collaboration with Guyana’s Missions abroad seeks to promote at the regional and international levels support for the maintenance of Guyana’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The Department coordinates with sector Ministries and Agencies to promote bilateral cooperation with Venezuela and Suriname, including within the aegis of the Guyana/Venezuela High Level Bilateral Commission and the Guyana/ Suriname Cooperation Council, with a view to ensuring that the cooperation programmes redound to the mutual benefit of the countries concerned and contribute to the deepening of relations with the two neighbours.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in the discharge of its mandate to promote the interests of Guyana within the international community, is committed to preserving the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and to contributing to the economic and social development of the Guyanese people. The Ministry is equally committed to promoting the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, maintaining active relationships with the diplomatic community through skilled, dedicated diplomatic and administrative staff, and ensuring effective utilisation of its financial and material resources.
