A key highlight of the visit will be Modi’s address to the Guyanese Parliament. This will provide a platform for the Prime Minister to reaffirm India’s support and dedication to Guyana’s growth and development. It also signals India’s continued interest in enhancing its role within the Caribbean region, which holds growing importance for India’s foreign policy and trade ambitions.
The visit underscores the evolving relationship between India and Guyana, with a focus on collaborative projects and partnerships. As Modi prepares to address the Guyanese Parliament, the visit is expected to set the stage for further cooperation between the two nations, strengthening ties that have already shown promising growth in recent years.
