First Visit to Guyana by an Indian PM Since 1968

Following the G20 Summit, PM Modi will travel to Georgetown, Guyana, marking the first visit to the nation by an Indian Prime Minister in over five decades. Invited by Guyanese President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, the visit from November 19-21 will focus on enhancing bilateral ties.

During his stay, PM Modi will hold high-level meetings, address the Guyanese Parliament, and engage with the Indian diaspora. He will also participate in the Second CARICOM-India Summit, strengthening India’s ties with member countries in the Caribbean.

President Ali, who visited India last year as the Chief Guest at the 17th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, was conferred the prestigious Pravasi Bharatiya Samman. The MEA noted that the summit aims to deepen India’s historical and cultural bonds with the CARICOM region.
