Guyana’s Ambassador To Venezuela Accredited

Cheryl Miles, Guyana’s new Venezuela Ambassador.

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Feb. 18, CMC – Several months after being appointed Guyana’s Ambassador to Venezuela, Cheryl Miles was accredited on Wednesday.

Foreign Affairs Minister, Carl Greenidge, who made the announcement today, said Miles presented her credentials to Delcy Rodriguez, Venezuela’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.

“That fulfills an obligation that President Maduro had given in November last year,” Greenidge said.

Miles had been identified, in November 2015, to fill the top post at the Guyana embassy in Venezuela, following the change in the Guyana government.

Although Miles had relocated to Caracas, she had not presented her credentials at a time of rocky relations between the two countries, over that Spanish-speaking nation’s ongoing claim to the Essequibo Region and the Atlantic Sea offshore that section of Guyana’s territory.
