Guyana: President Dr. Mohammad Irfan Ali honoured Prime Minister Narendra Modi (PM Modi) with Guyana’s highest honour ‘The Order of Excellence’. After honouring him, the President of Guyana said in his address that Prime Minister Modi is doing extraordinary service to different countries at the global level. His skillful statesmanship and important steps have been taken to deepen the relations between India and Guyana.
President Mohammad Irfan Ali said that by using technology, new discoveries and digitalization, work should be done to reduce the gap between the two countries rather than increasing it. This step taken towards progress will help in reducing the gap and poverty between the two countries. He said that both technologies should be used to bring all the countries of the world together. India has been supporting new technology and discovery. He said that PM Modi reminded Guyana in CARICOM that you are also a member of this CARICOM family. The President said that this bilateral meeting was quite different. Here the exchange of views between the Caribbean countries improved.
India will walk hand in hand with Guyana
Prime Minister Modi said that I have felt the love and affection for the people of India during my conversation with Guyana’s President Dr. Irfan Ali. He said that this honor I received is an honor for 140 crore Indians. India will walk shoulder to shoulder with Guyana in every field. As two democratic countries, our focus is not only on bilateral relations but is important for the entire Global South. Guyana, adorned with many rivers, is called the Land of Water. He said that just as the rivers here have been a part of the cultural identity, similarly, India’s sacred rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Brahmaputra have been the birthplace of our ancient civilization.
