‘Diversity must not become a spear of division’ - President Ali says no one will be treated as superior to another under ‘One Guyana’ thrust
PRESIDENT, Dr. Irfaan Ali has implored Guyanese to reject attempts, from whichever quarter, that are aimed to fostering prejudice, hatred,
strife and division. In his message on the occasion of Arrival Day, the Head of State said that diversity must not become a spear of division.
“Arrival Day is a celebration of the multicultural character of our nation. On this day, declared as a public holiday, we pay homage to our African,
Asian, European and West Indian ancestors who together with our Indigenous peoples laid the foundation of our country’s ethnic diversity, each contributing,
in no small measure, to our country’s attainment of freedom and its development,” Dr. Ali said. He related that multiculturalism, the product
of the meeting of these worlds, allows Guyanese, as a nation, to benefit from the rich cultural heritage of their respective peoples. FULL STORY ON PAGE 3
