It was just yesterday that Guyana and Chile signed the Open Skies Air Services Agreement and the Reciprocal Visa Abolition Agreement at the Palacio de la Moneda, the seat of the President of the Republic of Chile.
These agreements were signed by Carl Greenidge, Guyana’s Foreign Affairs Minister and his Chilean counterpart Heraldo Munoz. In their company were the presidents of the two countries, Guyana’s President David Granger and Chile’s President Michelle Bachelet.
The signing of the agreements followed bilateral talks between the two heads of state.
The Open Skies Agreement basically creates the structure for current and future airlines of both Chile and Guyana to explore the option of launching commercial flights that cover the transport of passengers and cargo between the two countries.
The Visa Abolition Agreement on the other hand paves the way for travel between the two states, without the need of a visa.
These two agreements came at a time when Guyana and Chile are working to further build on their relationship.
