President David Granger yesterday signed the Book of Condolence at the French Consulate in Georgetown in memory of the 129 people who lost their lives in horrific terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday, November 13 and contended that all states are vulnerable.
In a brief comment, GINA said that the President said that Guyana stands in solidarity with the Government of France and has strengthened its resolve as a member of the United Nations, to support the fight against this type of transnational crime.
“We all feel vulnerable now and in this regard we must all respond to this attack…all states are vulnerable and we must stand together with France to bring an end to this abomination,” President Granger said.
He added, according to GINA, that the Caribbean, as a community, must oppose the forms of extremism that give rise to this type of criminal activity that threatens the peace and security of large and small states alike. The President restated his position on the importance of small states to be protected.
