Let me take this opportunity to congratulate the people of Guyana following the formal declaration of results of the 2015 general and regional elections. This was a hard fought campaign and the high level of participation is to be commended.
Let me also take this opportunity to congratulate David Granger, on his swearing in as the new President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana. I look forward to working with him and his team during the coming years.
It is also important to thank former President Ramotar and those who served in his government for their service to Guyana.
As we move forward now is the time to look to inclusiveness and reconciliation. As President Granger said in his speech the new government must represent the will of all the people of Guyana. The UK stands ready to assist with this process.
