PRESIDENT Irfaan Ali was warmly welcomed in Brooklyn, New York, USA where he attended a breakfast event at Waterfall Lounge, hosted by the gracious Doris Rodney and her daughter.
The enthusiastic crowd engaged with the President, who outlined his vision for Guyana’s development and responded to numerous questions from attendees. During the event, President Ali was honoured with a Senate Resolution from Britnee Timberlake, representing New Jersey’s 34th District. The gathering celebrated his leadership and looked forward to his address at the 79th Session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly on Wednesday.
Then on Tuesday evening, President Ali attended a social mixer with the Guyanese diaspora at the Hibiscus Restaurant on Jamaica Avenue, Queens, New York. There, he informed attendees of the transformational infrastructure projects taking place, including the building of roads, hospitals and schools. He also spoke with them about the ‘One Guyana’ platform.
Both events were attended by scores of Guyanese who were eager to learn about the unprecedented development taking place in their homeland.
Accompanying the president was his wife, First Lady Arya Ali.
The Head of State previously visited Brooklyn in April of this year, where he interacted with Guyanese-owned businesses in the diaspora. President Ali has reiterated that his government’s message is founded on national unity and the collective desire to see Guyana prosper.
