The government of Guyana is currently finalizing a significant migration agreement with the United States to take in individuals being expelled to third-party nations.
These high-level negotiations involve accepting both refugees and deportees who are unable or unwilling to return to their original homelands.
Under the proposed terms, the U.S. government would finance the entire relocation process, while Guyana maintains the authority to vet and reject specific individuals.
Local officials have indicated a strong preference for skilled migrants who do not possess a criminal record.
This diplomatic development follows similar regional arrangements made by other Caribbean nations like Dominica and Antigua.
While previous reports suggested hesitation, current discussions are in an advanced stage with a formal signing expected shortly.
