In a speech rich with promises of collaboration, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday emphasized New Delhi’s growing partnership with Guyana, particularly in the energy sector.

Addressing  a historic session of Parliament, Modi described Guyana as a key energy partner and outlined plans for extensive support to the country’s development.

He urged Guyana to join a global movement towards a “new world order,” highlighting the crucial role women will play in shaping global prosperity in the 21st century. Modi also pointed to the disproportionate impact of climate change on countries in the Global South, urging collective action to address these challenges. Modi also suggested that Guyana has the potential to serve as a bridge between India and the broader South American continent while also extending a warm invitation to Guyanese Parliamentarians to visit India.
