May 18, 2015

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has congratulated the new Guyana President, retired Brigadier General, David Granger, for winning the general election contested in that country on May 11.

In a congratulatory message yesterday, Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar said, “On behalf of the Government and people of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and on my own behalf, I wish to extend sincerest congratulations to the new President on the victory of A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance for Change (APNU and AFC) under his stewardship in the recently concluded and keenly contested General Election held in Guyana on Monday May 11, 2015.”

Persad-Bissessar said the electoral success of the alliance signified the commitment of the people of Guyana to work together in the interest of the country and was a clear indication of the confidence that the people of Guyana had in the vision for the future which the APNU and AFC articulated.

“As Mr Granger embarks on his tenure as President, I am confident that under his leadership, Guyana will continue on its path to further development and prosperity, and I look forward to working with him towards the pursuit of our bilateral and regional interests.

“Permit me to reaffirm the commitment of the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago to further strengthening the bonds of friendship which have traditionally existed between our two countries,” Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar added.
