Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs François-Philippe Champagne yesterday said that Ottawa looks forward to working with President Irfaan Ali.
In a statement congratulating Ali, Champagne said “We look forward to working with President Ali and his government to advance our shared priorities”.
He added: “Despite challenges in recent weeks, through these election results, the will of the people of Guyana has been reflected and the democratic process has been upheld”.
Champagne noted that Canada supported Guyana’s elections with technical assistance and also aided the Carter Center’s election observation mission and CARICOM’s High Level Team, which observed the recounting of ballots.
