Carlos Moreno
On Wednesday, ground was ceremoniously broken for the construction of a joint forward operating base near the mouth of the Sarstoon River. Present for the brief formality were a number of government officials, including the ministers of National Security, Education and Public Service. Noticeably absent were other invited guests, particularly the United States Ambassador and the British High Commissioner. While invitations were extended to both diplomats, they were no-shows at the event. According to Ambassador Moreno, the offer was made on short notice.

“I think Minister Saldivar would confirm this, the notice that we got was quite short and we got an invitation from the Minister of National Security, as well as from the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

So it was a bad day and the notice was very short.”
