praises strong bilateral relations

PRESIDENT Dr. Irfaan Ali warmly received the Letters of Credence from Sebastien Sigouin, the newly appointed High Commissioner of Canada to Guyana, in a formal ceremony on Wednesday.

In his remarks, President Ali commended the “exceptional relationship” that has flourished between the two nations over the years, noting that it is deeply rooted in shared cultural values, respect for law, and a mutual commitment to democracy.
He underscored that the relationship between the two countries is not only defined by trade, investment, and project planning but also by a deep connection between people and states.

Diplomatic relations between Guyana and Canada were formally established on May 26, 1966, the same day Guyana gained independence. Since then, both countries have collaborated on numerous projects, strengthening economic ties and fostering closer political and social relations.
High Commissioner Sigouin’s appointment is expected to further enhance these ties as both countries continue to explore new areas of co-operation.
