  • India Guyana Bilateral Relation

    India Guyana Bilateral Relation

    India-Guyana Bilateral Relations During the colonial period, Guyana's economy was focused on plantation agriculture, which initially depended on slave labour. Guyana saw major slave rebellions in 1763 and again in 1823.Great Britain passed the Slavery Abolition Act in British Parliament that abolished slavery in most British colonies, freeing more than 800,000 enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and South Africa. British Guiana became a Crown colony in 1928, and in 1953 it was granted home rule. In 1950, Mr. Cheddi Jagan, who was Indian-Guyanese, and Mr. Forbes Burnham, who was Afro-Guyanese, created the colony's first political party, the Progressive People's Party (PPP), which was dedicated to gaining the colony's independence. In the 1953 elections, Mr. Cheddi Jagan was elected chief minister. Mr. Cheddi Jagan of the PPP and Mr. Forbes Burnham of the PNC were to dominate Guyana politics for decades to come. In 1961, Britain granted the colony autonomy, and Mr. Cheddi Jagan became Prime Minister (1961–1964). In 1964, Burnham succeeded Jagan as Prime Minister, a position he retained after the country gained full independence on May 26, 1966. With independence, the country returned to its traditional name, Guyana. Mr. Burnham ruled Guyana until his death in 1985 (from 1980 to 1985, after a change in the constitution, he served as president). Mr. Desmond Hoyte of the PNC became president in 1985, but in 1992 the PPP reemerged, winning a majority in the general election. Mr. Cheddi Jagan became President, and succeeded in reviving the economy. After his death in 1997, his wife, Janet Jagan, was elected President.

Your Excellencies, Heads of State and Government of the Caribbean Community. In the interest of time, I crave your indulgence to adopt the protocols so well established before me.

    24 June 2016 Excellency, I Refer to the Convention on Cluster

    THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 24 June 2016 Excellency, I refer to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), which entered into force on 1 August 2010. The Convention on Cluster Munitions prohibits the use, development, production, stockpiling, retaining and transfer of cluster munitions, establishes deadlines for the destruction of stockpiled cluster munitions and clearance of unexploded sub-munitions and contains robust provisions on assistance to cluster munition survivors. I welcome the fact that 100 States have become parties to the Convention since its adoption in 2008. I support all efforts aimed at achieving universal adherence to and full implementation of the provisions of the Convention. A widely supported and strictly implemented Convention would benefit the victims of cluster munitions and affected communities, save lives and prevent enormous human suffering. I would therefore like to encourage your country to consider, without delay, becoming a party to the Convention on Cluster Munitions. By joining the Convention, your country would contribute significantly to the strengthening of international humanitarian law in the interests of promoting international security and preserving human life. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration. BAN Ki-moon His Excellency Mr. José Eduardo dos Santos President of the Republic of Angola President of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) Luanda THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 24 June 2016 Excellency, I refer to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), which entered into force on 1 August 2010.
