The President emphasised that the King’s commitment to sustainable rainforest management and climate change resilience underscores his dedication to environmental sustainability.
“Guyana is grateful for His Majesty’s deep commitment to environmental sustainability and will continue to work with the UK to ensure the protection and conservation of our natural environment,” President Ali stated.
The President also expressed optimism about strengthening economic growth, trade relations, and sustainable development initiatives with the UK.
