\u201cTonight celebrates the deep people to people\u00a0links\u00a0between our two countries\u00a0and it comes at a very special moment, just hours ahead of the state visit to Guyana\u00a0of His Majesty King Charles III at the invitation of His Excellency\u00a0the President, Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali. Now as many of you will know, this is the first\u00a0state visit by a serving British monarch to Guyana in over 30 years<\/strong>,\u201d British High Commissioner to Guyana, Joseph Fisher said.

\u201cWe’ve also done this knowing that we\u00a0are setting an example as well\u00a0to the world, showing that despite origins, despite\u00a0struggles, despite challenges,\u00a0human beings have the ability to come together and share what is most important,\u00a0and that is us as individuals, and us as a collective, and also what we value most,\u00a0which is our culture<\/strong>,\u201d the minister said.
