Al Haj Ally will take the opportunity to meet with his counterparts from Guyana and Suriname at ACIC to discuss the relationship between his organization and the Muslims from Guyana and Suriname. Over the last decade, the relationship between the Muslims of these countries has been extremely dynamic with several areas of cooperation established.

TWO CONCERTS
Al Haj Ally will also be in Guyana to grace the two concerts featuring Indian Sufi/Classical Singer, Indira Naik who will be featured at two fabulous concerts in Guyana on October 28 at the Theatre Guild and on October 29 at ACIC, both shows starting at 6.30pm.
