All is well be­tween Trinidad and To­ba­go and Guyana fol­low­ing a meet­ing be­tween the two Min­is­ters of For­eign Af­fairs yes­ter­day.

The lo­cal Min­is­ter of For­eign Af­fairs Dr Amery Browne yes­ter­day met vir­tu­al­ly with his Guyanese coun­ter­part, Hugh H. Todd and the two dis­cussed the po­lit­i­cal dis­cord be­tween the two na­tions.

Ac­cord­ing to a me­dia re­lease from Browne, com­ing out of the meet­ing the two Min­is­ters "reaf­firmed the com­mit­ment of their Gov­ern­ments to strength­en­ing the bonds of friend­ship".

The two al­so dis­cussed deep­en­ing and ex­pand­ing co­op­er­a­tion be­tween their two coun­tries.

"The Min­is­ters un­der­took to bol­ster ef­forts at en­hanc­ing co­op­er­a­tion be­tween their coun­tries in the ar­eas of trade, in­vest­ment and en­er­gy through mech­a­nisms such as the Frame­work Agree­ment on the Deep­en­ing of Bi­lat­er­al Co­op­er­a­tion and the Mem­o­ran­dum of Un­der­stand­ing on En­er­gy Sec­tor Co­op­er­a­tion, re­spec­tive­ly," the me­dia re­lease said.

They al­so set a six-month time­line to pur­sue the im­ple­men­ta­tion of the mech­a­nisms of the High-Lev­el Bi­lat­er­al Com­mis­sion, Ex­e­cut­ing Com­mit­tee and Joint Work­ing Group.

"The Min­is­ters agreed to con­tin­ue col­lab­o­ra­tion in the Caribbean Com­mu­ni­ty (CARI­COM) on Ad­vanc­ing the CARI­COM Agri-Food Sys­tems Agen­da: Pri­ori­tis­ing Re­gion­al Food and Nu­tri­tion Se­cu­ri­ty since Trinidad and To­ba­go and Guyana sit on the Spe­cial Min­is­te­r­i­al Task Force (MTF) on Food Pro­duc­tion and Food Se­cu­ri­ty.

"Todd al­so took the op­por­tu­ni­ty to con­vey Guyana’s grat­i­tude for Trinidad and To­ba­go’s con­tin­ued sup­port for the preser­va­tion and main­te­nance of Guyana’s sov­er­eign­ty and ter­ri­to­r­i­al in­tegri­ty," the re­lease said.

The two are ex­pect­ed to meet again, but no time has been giv­en.

The meet­ing be­tween the two Min­is­ters was es­pe­cial­ly im­por­tant af­ter a fris­son of dis­cord ap­peared be­tween the two na­tions over the suc­cess of each coun­try's vac­cine roll­out.

Dur­ing one of the COVID-19 up­dates, Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley said that on­ly Guyana re­ceived more vac­cines than T&T and point­ed out that that coun­try was us­ing vac­cines that did not have the World Health Or­gan­i­sa­tion (WHO) ap­proval, while T&T was.

Soon af­ter Dr Leslie Ram­sam­my, ad­vi­sor to the Guyanese Health Min­istry slammed the PM for in­sult­ing the peo­ple of Guyana.

Browne de­fend­ed Row­ley at the time say­ing that the PM did noth­ing wrong.

Days lat­er the Guyanese At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Anil Nand­lall seemed to reignite the is­sue dur­ing his talk show that dealt with the weeks' events. Nand­lall did say that it was nev­er his in­ten­tion to re-en­er­gise the stale is­sue.
