(Demerara Waves) – Guyana has approached Brazil’s Roraima State to jointly patrol the border between the two neighbouring South American countries to combat transnational crime, President Irfaan Ali said on Wednesday.
At the opening of the annual police officers’ conference Dr Ali said he raised the idea of establishing a “strike force” with the Governor of Roraima State, Antonio Denarium during his visit this week to Roraima State.
“I’ve already discussed with the governor of Roraima, for us to develop an integrated joint strike force to operate along the border. Those discussions, I hope, will advance so we can have an integrated system along the border,” Dr Ali said.
