President Dr Irfaan Ali has urged Guyanese to rededicate themselves to the pursuit of peace and renew their commitment to the country’s development and well-being.
The Head of State made the call during the annual Remembrance Day observance at the Cenotaph in Georgetown.
He led the solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Cenotaph, joined by members of Cabinet, diplomats and other state officials.
In his address, President Ali emphasized the nation’s enduring debt to the brave men and women who laid down their lives for peace and freedom.
“We also recalled with gratitude those who through the years made similar personal sacrifices in the continuing struggle for human dignity, social injustice and freedom from all forms of oppression wherever those exist,” he said.
The president also noted that their example continues to inspire Guyana’s resolve to strive for a world marked by peace, justice, and prosperity for all.
“On this solemn occasion, we the citizens of Guyana rededicate ourselves to the search for peace everywhere and renew our commitment to the development and wellbeing of our beloved country,” the president said.
Similar wreath-laying ceremonies were held at Esplanade Park in New Amsterdam and in other regions across the country.
