PM Modi Guyana Visit: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Addressed a special session of the Parliament of Guyana on Thursday (21 November). During this he said that the friendship between Guyana and India is very old. Indians set foot on this land 180 years ago. Both will fight equally for freedom. Here, people close to Gandhiji fought together for freedom and got freedom and today both our countries are strengthening democracy.
He further said that every effort to strengthen democracy in Guyana is strengthening the world. Today we have to keep a constant eye on the global situation. When we got independence the challenges were different, today in the 21st century the challenges are different. The systems and institutions built after the Second World War are collapsing. After Corona, the world was supposed to move towards a new world order but today the world is stuck in some other matters. If we work in the spirit of Humanity First, we remain committed to working for humanity.
We are strengthening democracy in every ups and downs and there is no better medium than democracy. Democracy wishes every citizen his rights and his bright future.
‘India is playing its role as a world friend’
PM Modi said, “The relationship between India and Guyana is very deep, it is a relationship of soil, sweat and hard work. About 180 years ago, an Indian came to the land of Guyana and since then, in both happy and sad situations, The relationship between India and Guyana has been full of intimacy. India is fulfilling its duty as a ‘world brother’ with the spirit of democracy first, humanity first.”
‘This is not the time for conflict’
The Prime Minister said, “This is not the time for conflict for the world, this is the time to identify the conditions that give rise to conflict and remove them. Today terrorism, drugs, cyber crime, there are many such challenges which only by combating can we achieve our future. We will be able to shape the future of future generations.”
