PM Congratulates Guyana’s Irfaan Ali on Election Win

On 7th September 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Guyanese President Irfaan Ali on his resounding victory in the recently held General and Regional Elections in Guyana, expressing his intent to further strengthen bilateral cooperation anchored in strong people-to-people ties.

India and Guyana share a longstanding cultural connection, with the Indian diaspora forming a significant part of Guyana’s population, as many Indians settled there during the British colonial era.
The two countries continue to nurture robust people-to-people connections, with Guyanese citizens of Indian origin maintaining close ties with their ancestral homeland, thereby reinforcing cultural and familial bonds.
Bilateral cooperation between India and Guyana spans across multiple sectors, including trade, economic development, cultural exchange, and capacity-building projects, demonstrating a multifaceted partnership.
