Over the next three days, especially on Friday, the UNASUR Summit in Guyana will be history in the making, as Guyana, the only English-speaking country on the South American continent, leads the way for consolidating a unified South America; that is, the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR).
Members of the UNASUR planning committee and other officials met yesterday to finalise arrangements for the Summit, ahead of tomorrow’s meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of UNASUR countries to be held at the Guyana International Conference Centre at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara.
Advance delegations from several countries have already arrived in Guyana, and Heads of State and Government, along with their respective delegations, are expected to start arriving later today for the Summit.
The Foreign Ministers meeting is slated to commence at 9:00 hrs tomorrow, while at 18:30 hrs tomorrow afternoon will be a major highlight of the Summit – the conferring of Guyana’s Order of Excellence on His Excellency Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, President of the Federative Republic of Brazil.
Later the same evening will be a cultural programme in honour of Lula – the outgoing and charismatic Brazilian President - entitled ‘Landscape and Festivals’. Immediately following this will be a reception at the National Cultural Centre for delegates and invitees attending the award and cultural programme.
The delegates and invitees will then proceed to State House for a State Dinner hosted by His Excellency Bharrat Jagdeo in honour of the visiting Heads of State and Government of UNASUR.
On Friday, there will be the opening session of the IV Regular Summit of the UNASUR Heads of State and Government at 10:00 hrs at the Guyana International Conference Centre.
