Professor Compton Bourne has been entrusted with the role of Ambassador-designate to Brazil, while Dr. Leslie Ramsammy assumes the dual responsibility of Ambassador to Switzerland and Guyana’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva.

Mr. Sasenarine Singh, on the other hand, steps into the position of Ambassador to Belgium, doubling as Guyana’s Permanent Representative to the European Union and the Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States, stationed in Brussels.
