Prime Minister, Brigadier (Ret’d), Mark Phillips, Thursday met with Guyana Reparations Committee Chairman, Dr Eric Phillips and a visiting African Royal Delegation from South Africa and the Kingdom of Lesotho who is in Guyana for Emancipation celebrations 2022.

The senior government official also explained that the concept of ‘One Guyana’, which has been a key area of focus for the Government, is based on mutual respect for society’s ethnic, religious, and social groups. Respect, he contended, broadens the space for diversity by accepting differences and allowing all Guyanese to see themselves as equal members of society.

“African Guyanese have played a pivotal role in the development of Guyana and continues to be essential to the overall development of this country.”
