Guyana has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening friendship and cooperation with Sri Lanka following the accreditation of His Excellency Dharamkumar Seeraj as the country’s Non-Resident High Commissioner to the island nation.
The High Commissioner presented his Letter of Credence to the President of Sri Lanka, His Excellency Anura Kumara Dissanayake on Tuesday, formally accrediting him as Guyana’s representative to the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka.
