GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – Guyana says the relationship with the United States must be based on mutual respect, understanding and non-interference in each other’s domestic affairs.
President Donald Ramotar speaking at a reception marking the 237th anniversary of the Independence of the United States said Guyana’s policy should serve as a reminder to western nations about the way in which the country is constantly being perceived and lectured.

Only recently, President Ramotar was critical of Washington over what he described as the subjective and unfair positions regarding Guyana’s efforts to tackle corruption and Trafficking In Persons (TIP).
