Guyana Looking Forward To Intensify Diplomatic Relations With France

Prime Minister, Brigadier (Ret’d), the Honourable Mark Phillips said that as Guyana pursues its low carbon economy with the new Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) 2030, it will look to intensify its 50-year-old diplomatic relations with France.

The Prime Minister, who delivered remarks at a reception in honour of France’s National Day on Monday evening at the Georgetown Club, said that high on the agenda would be climate change, an area where the two countries share common concerns.

He lauded France for its commitment to combatting climate change and the initiatives taken to address the adverse effects of global warming.

He added that Guyana is also committed to a low carbon economy through its Low Carbon Development Strategy.

“Guyana and France recognize the magnitude of flattening the curve of climate change through the development of strategies that have sustainable development at their core. Like France, Guyana is committed to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals in which our people are central to the policies we develop.”
