THE United States Embassy in Guyana has launched a new digital campaign titled “60 Years Strong” to commemorate the longstanding relationship between Guyana and the United States as the two nations mark major national milestones this year.
The initiative was announced by U.S. Ambassador Nicole Theriot, who noted that 2026 is significant for both countries, with the United States observing 250 years of independence while Guyana celebrates its 60th anniversary as an independent nation.
In a statement released by the embassy, Ambassador Theriot said the digital series would highlight the enduring partnership between the two countries, which she described as being rooted in shared values, mutual respect and a common vision for development and progress.
According to the ambassador, the campaign will feature stories centred on democratic principles, bilateral co-operation and the contributions of Guyanese alumni who participated in U.S. exchange programmes and have gone on to make impacts within their communities and professional fields.
The embassy said the series will also focus on areas of co-operation aimed at strengthening regional development and collaboration between the two countries.
Guyana and the United States have maintained diplomatic relations since Guyana gained independence in 1966. Over the decades, the partnership has expanded across sectors including security, trade, health, education, energy and governance.
In recent years, relations between the two countries have deepened amid Guyana’s rapidly growing oil-and-gas sector and increased economic and strategic co-operation in the Caribbean region. The United States has also supported a number of initiatives in Guyana through development partnerships, educational exchanges and security collaboration.
The embassy is encouraging public participation in the campaign through the social media hashtags #Freedom250 and #USGuyana60.
