Monday’s high-profile meeting in New Delhi between India’s Vice President C.P. Radhakrishnan and Guyana’s Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo highlighted a shared vision for intensified bilateral engagement. Held at the Vice President’s residence, the talks aimed at bolstering ties in numerous sectors.
The leaders renewed vows to champion Global South interests at forums including the UN Security Council and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, reflecting aligned geopolitical priorities.
The Vice President’s X post detailed the productive exchange, where Dr. Jagdeo lauded PM Modi’s stewardship and India’s UPI success in fostering digital economy and inclusion. Both explored avenues for Guyana to adopt these frameworks.
Spotlight also fell on India’s e-Migrate portal and ITEC scheme, with Guyana expressing intent to partner for enhanced migration processes and skill development.
Building on this, Guyana President Irfaan Ali’s January 26 X message extended Republic Day wishes, praising India’s constitutional milestones and its freedom saga that galvanized anti-colonial movements globally.
Ali affirmed India’s pivotal role in voicing developing nations’ concerns as the globe’s premier democracy. He underscored Guyana’s pride in its deep-rooted India connection—woven from history, kinship, and common democratic ethos—transforming into a resilient alliance of mutual esteem and cross-sector synergy.
This diplomatic overture sets the stage for broader India-Guyana cooperation, driving progress and unity in the developing world.
