Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness arrived in Guyana on Thursday for a two-day official visit focused on strengthening ties between the two Caribbean countries.

Holness was welcomed at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport by Guyana’s Prime Minister Mark Phillips.

He is expected to meet with President Irfaan Ali and other officials during the visit.
