Defence CEO in UK Military Meetings
posted (July 23, 2019)
And we tried to get comment on today's aggressive tactics on the river by the GAF from Chief Executive Officer in the Ministry of National Security Felix Enriquez. But, a government release says he's on an official visit to the United Kingdom, quote, "attending to bilateral defence matters."

So far, he's made a courtesy call on the Ministry of Defence and met with the Minister of State for the Armed Forces, Col. Mark Lancaster, and General Officer Commanding London District, Major General Ben Bathurst.

CEO Enriquez also met with Deputy Director Nigel Baker at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

According to an official release, they discussed defence collaboration between Belize and the UK and training for the BDF and the Belize Coast Guard.

If the name Col. Mark Lancaster sounds familiar it's because in September 2018, he was in Belize to sign the revised Status of Forces Agreement between Belize and the UK.
