Palestinian Liberation Organization Reps. to Visit Belize

Representatives of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) are expected to arrive in Belize this afternoon. They were invited by the Belize People’s Front (BPF). A statement from BPF Leader Nancy Marin says that the visit is “primarily aimed at signing a historic bipartisan agreement of mutual collaboration” between the PLO and the BPF.

Representing the PLO are Mohamed Salam, Commissioner of the PLO and Coordinator of the Anti-Apartheid Department, as well as Roboan Rodriguez, Coordinator of the Latin American Alliance for Palestine.

They are expected to discuss key areas of cooperation, solidarity, and shared values between the BPF and PLO.

Marin says that the delegation will pay Prime Minister John Briceño a courtesy call.

“They will also be hosted for lunch by Minister Kareem Musa and former Prime Minister Said Musa, in a spirit of camaraderie and mutual respect.”

They are scheduled to meet with Honorary Consul of Lebanon Sarkis Abou-Nehra to further regional ties.

“As part of the BPF’s ongoing commitment to the education of Belizean youth, the delegation will also make an introductory visit to the University of Belize.”
