Momen new chair of C’wealth Ministerial Group on Guyana
Bangladesh Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen has been appointed Chair of the Commonwealth Ministerial Group on Guyana, which works for settlement of Guyana-Venezuela territorial dispute.
He received unanimous support of the seven-member group comprising Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Britain, Canada, Guyana, Jamaica, and South Africa, said Bangladesh High Commission in UK in a statement on Monday.
Upon the appointment, Momen said, "Bangladesh looks forward to steering the group on Guyana-Venezuela territorial dispute in line with Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's visionary foreign policy doctrine of peaceful settlement of disputes through dialogue and international adjudication."
Chairing the first online meeting of the group under Bangladesh's chairmanship, he recalled Bangladesh's peaceful maritime boundary settlement with its neighbours taking recourse of international arbitration and international law.
