Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva speaking
at the National Cultural Centre during the conferral of the Order of Excellence
In a parting speech which signalled Brazil’s continued interest in bolstering relations with Guyana, outgoing President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said yesterday that his successor is ready to advance and expand the bilateral agenda with an immediate focus on Guyana’s hydro project and the paving of the Linden-Lethem road.
Brazilian funding is available to advance both projects, he said, noting that they are “ready to support the move to the next phase” as both governments work towards cleaner and cheaper energy. He identified movement in these areas as critical as Guyana and Brazil strengthen their close partnership.
The Brazil/Guyana bilateral agenda remains a priority according to Lula, who said his country is interested in “consolidating the continental destiny of Guyana”.
His comments came shortly after the Order of Excellence was conferred upon him at a special ceremony at the National Cultural Centre yesterday; the event was scheduled for the UNASUR summit which wraps up in Georgetown today.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations are in order to President Jagdeo and team who made the hosting and facilitating of the IV UNASUR Summit a major success...I always applaud and commend initiatives like these. Ideally, a project to this magnitude will foster macro and micro economical development in Guyana. Also added to economic benefits, the possibility of being a sustainable nation who readily conserves and preserves its environment for the benefit of not only present but also future generations.
