President Irfaan Ali yesterday accepted the Letters of Credence from the new High Commissioner of Canada to Guyana, Sebastien Sigouin at the Office of the President.

During brief remarks, the Head of State lauded the “exceptional relationship” between the two countries, which he said has been built on shared culture, value systems and the respect for law and democracy.

A release from the Office of the President said that Ali underscored that the relationship between the two countries is not only defined by trade, investment and project planning, but is also defined by a deep connection between the people.
