Chief of Defence Staff, Brigadier Omar Khan, MSS, today welcomed the newly appointed Colombian Aerospace Force Liaison Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Víctor Hugo Montes Castaño, during a courtesy call at Defence Headquarters, Base Camp Ayanganna.
The visit reinforced Guyana’s commitment to strengthening defence and security partnerships within the region. Brigadier Khan and Lieutenant Colonel Montes Castaño discussed avenues for greater collaboration between the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and the Colombian Armed Forces, aimed at contributing to a safer and more stable hemisphere.
Colombia’s deployment of a dedicated Liaison Officer reflects the growing importance of bilateral military cooperation, especially as both countries seek to enhance their capacity to respond to regional challenges. For Guyana, such engagements underscore the strategic value of defence diplomacy in safeguarding national interests while advancing collective security.
This development marks a significant step in fortifying ties between Guyana and Colombia, ensuring that cooperation between their armed forces continues to evolve in support of peace, stability, and mutual respect across the region.
