Mr. President,
1. India extends a warm welcome to the delegation of Guyana for its fourth UPR.
2. We note the rapid economic and developmental transformation in Guyana. The emphasis on addressing socio-economic disparities through various citizen-centric initiatives, is particularly noteworthy. We also note the efforts being made to address gender-based violence and various initiatives ensuring inclusivity irrespective of race, religion or sexual orientation.
3. In the spirit of constructive dialogue, we encourage and recommend to Guyana the following:
One, to continue its efforts in the fields of connectivity, healthcare, housing, and vocational education, especially for the indigenous and other marginalized communities.
Two, to continue its on-going efforts towards promoting equitable growth and sustainable development, while upholding Guyana’s values of plurality and a multi-cultural, multi-religious, and multi-ethnic ethos.
4. We wish the delegation of Guyana all success in its review.
Thank you, Mr. President.
