Belize’S Foreign Affairs Announces New Honorary Consul For Guyana

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that the Government of Belize has agreed to the appointment of Hugh Asquith Saul as Guyana’s Honorary Consul in Belize. Saul will replace Lutchman Sooknandan who served in that capacity for a number of years but retired due to ill health. On Friday Saul was presented with his Letters of Commission by the Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, Minister of Foreign Affairs in Guyana. Saul’s appointment as Guyana’s Honorary Consul in Belize represents an important step in the further deepening of relations between the two CARICOM countries and to ensuring that nationals of Guyana residing in Belize are afforded the opportunity of consular services. Prior to migrating to Belize, Saul served as a member of the Board of Directors in the Guyana State Corporation, Guyana Fisheries Corporation, Guyana Agricultural Products Corporation, Guyana Agricultural Research and Development Institute and the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism.
