Guyana, Brazil move to expand military cooperation on border security

Guyana and Brazil are exploring opportunities to expand military cooperation, including specialised training, information sharing, and capacity building, as the two countries seek to address shared border security and regional defence challenges.

The matter was discussed on Thursday at Base Camp Ayanganna, where Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Brigadier Omar Khan met with a senior Brazilian military delegation led by the Military Commander of the Amazon, General Luiz Gonzaga Viana Filho.

The delegation included Commander of the 1st Jungle Infantry Brigade Brigadier General Roberto Pereira Angrizani, Deputy Commander of Operation Catrimani Brigadier General Klauber Rogerio Candian, and Assistant to the Commander of the Amazon Military Command Colonel Bastos Costa.
