Guyana–Russia relations
Résumé
Guyana–Russia relations are the bilateral foreign relations between the Russian Federation and Guyana. Officially established in 1970, Russia has an embassy in Georgetown, and Guyana's non-resident ambassador to Russia is located in London.
In 2005, both countries signed an agreement for visa-free travel for holders of diplomatic and service passports between the countries, and in 2010 Guyana unilaterally cancelled visa requirements for the Russian citizens.
Cheddi Jagan, a Marxist Socialist politician early in his career held communist countries in a positive light. His involvement with Soviet-allied countries since the 1950s attracted attention from Britain and the US during the Cold War.
The Soviet Union and Guyana established diplomatic relations on 17 December 1970.
In October 1985, the Soviet Union delivered three Mil Mi-8 helicopters to Georgetown for use by the Guyana Defence Force. In the 1980s Guyana Airways operated a Tupolev Tu-154 passenger jet on lease from TAROM of Romania, and purchased three additional Tu-154s from the Soviet Union and Romania in a barter deal in exchange for bauxite.
On 8 January 1992, Guyana recognised the Russian Federation as the successor state to the Soviet Union, after the latter's dissolution. Russia has an embassy in Georgetown, and Guyana covers Russia from its High Commission in London.
Many Guyanese students have gone abroad to Russia for higher education. In 2003, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia and University of Guyana signed agreement on cooperation. The Guyana Police Force was also provided short term training in Russia.
In January 2006, Rusal reached an agreement with the government of Guyana to purchase 90% of the Aroaima Mining Company, leaving the government with a ten percent share. The deal, according to Rusal, invested US$20 million in the bauxite mine, with mines in Berbice.
