President of the Federative Republic of Brazil, His Excellency Jair Bolsonaro will no longer be visiting Guyana today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation announced early Friday morning.
In a brief statement, it explained that the presidential visit was postponed due to the sudden and unfortunate passing of President Bolsonaro’s mother.
