India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday concluded his three-day visit to Guyana with a public engagement session and a vibrant cultural showcase at the National Cultural Centre in Georgetown.
Greeted with chants of “Modi! Modi! Modi!” from the enthusiastic audience, the Prime Minister reflected on the warmth and hospitality of the Guyanese people, celebrated shared cultural ties, and highlighted India and Guyana’s deepening partnership. He also added that Guyana boasts one of the most vibrant democracies in the Caribbean region.
The visit yesterday culminated with a public engagement session at the National Cultural Centre. The event featured singing and dance performances by various organizations, showcasing the traditions of the Indo-Guyanese community. The meeting at the cultural centre had a specific resonance as it was controversially built with funds earmarked for the repatriation of indentured Indian immigrants.
