A call by acting President Moses Nagamootoo urging the Commonwealth Federation to unite through sports was made yesterday at Olympic House (Liliendaal) during his keynote address at the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) meeting of the Americas and the Caribbean.
Nagamootoo spoke in the presence of several key Commonwealth figures at the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) facilitated two-day meeting where a number of important issues regarding the Caribbean and the Americas involvement in the 2018 Commonwealth Games and the 2022 edition were discussed.
According to the elected Prime Minister, who is currently performing the duties of Head-of-State in the absence of President David Granger, sports and athletes should be used as avenues to bring recognition to one’s country as well as to be a voice for world issues like the hurricanes which have wrecked several Caribbean islands.
