Government’s continued capital investment in the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) is geared towards the long- term goal of achieving a modern Air Corps and Coast Guard, President Irfaan Ali yesterday said as he challenged the force to be ready to respond to any crisis the nation could face.
Addressing officers at the GDF Annual Officers’ Conference yesterday at Base Camp Ayanganna, Georgetown, Ali said the country must be able to monitor and protect the fast growing activities in its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and the forests.
