Guyana Independence Day

On behalf of the Government of the United States, I extend warm congratulations to the people of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana on your 58th anniversary of independence.

The United States reaffirms its unwavering commitment as a dependable partner to Guyana. Over time, our mutual embrace of democracy and resilience will persist as fundamental pillars of our robust bilateral relationship. Our countries are intricately linked through profound connections including education, history, economy, culture, and our robust people-to-people ties. We eagerly anticipate continued cooperation and partnership to fortify commercial links, work towards net zero carbon emissions, foster transparent governance, increase cooperation in healthcare, uphold human rights, preserve regional stability, and combat illicit activities in the region. Our commitment to advancing the U.S.-Caribbean Partnership to Address the Climate Crisis 2030 (PACC 2030) remains resolute as we confront climate change, food insecurity, and other challenges in the coming year.

On the occasion of Guyana's Independence Day, the United States sends sincere wishes for a year filled with peace, prosperity, and happiness for all.
