Guyana Republic National Day – United States Department of State

On behalf of the Government of the United States, I extend best wishes to the people of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana on your 60th Independence Day.

The United States values our strong partnership with Guyana, a founding member of the Shield of the Americas. We appreciate our close cooperation to advance regional security, support territorial integrity, and counter transnational crime. We also recognize Guyana’s growing role as an economic leader in the region and value our expanding commercial ties, that create new opportunities for investment, trade, and energy development for both our nations. As Guyana continues on this path of growth, the United States supports efforts that promote transparency, accountability, and long-term stability that benefit the Guyanese people. We look forward to continuing to deepen our cooperation in support of shared interests and a more secure and prosperous hemisphere. On this important day, we reaffirm our partnership and the lasting friendship between the United States and Guyana.
