Key to the City

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the rousing welcome that he received in Guyana will forever be etched in his memory. In a special gesture, the President of Guyana, Mohamed Irfaan Ali, along with the country’s PM Brigadier (Retd.) Mark Anthony Phillips and over a dozen Cabinet Ministers, welcomed PM Modi at the airport as he arrived from Rio de Janeiro following the conclusion of the G20 Summit.

“Later in the evening, at the Guyana Marriott Hotel in Georgetown, I had the pleasure of introducing Prime Minister Modi to several CARICOM leaders who are here for the 2nd India-CARICOM Summit. This meeting underscored the strengthening bonds between India and the Caribbean, built on shared values and a vision for mutual progress,” the Guyanese President wrote on X.

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders are in Guyana for the 2nd India-CARICOM Summit that will be co-chaired by the Indian PM, Grenada PM Dickon Mitchell and Ali.

“The welcome in Guyana will remain etched in my memory. “I was delighted to meet you, Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell of Grenada, PM Mia Amor Mottley of Barbados and the respected Cabinet Ministers of Guyana. I am also humbled to have received a ‘Key to the City of Georgetown’ by the Mayor of Georgetown. India is eager to deepen cooperation with the CARICOM across various sectors,” PM Modi posted on X while replying to the Guyana President’s social media post.
