After his meeting with President Murmu, Phillips will meet Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar at the India Habitat Centre, the External Affairs Ministry confirmed.

He will depart from India on February 11, according to the statement released by the MEA.

In April last year, Jaishankar paid a visit to Guyana and called on PM Mark Phillips and discussed energy, disaster resilience, and defence cooperation.

He also co-chaired the 5th India-Guyana Joint Commission Meeting with his Guyana counterpart Hugh Todd and held “comprehensive discussions” related to agriculture, energy, health and pharmaceuticals and defence cooperation.

He also said it is very natural to discuss cricket on a visit to Guyana, as he called the nation, the land of Rohan Kanhai and Lance Gibbs.

Moreover, Jaishankar, during his Guyana visit also celebrated Earth Day and planted a tree.

“Celebrated Earth Day in Georgetown by planting a Simarupa tree in this beautiful country. May this sapling grow and prosper reflecting the strength and vitality of the India-Guyana relationship,” the minister posted on X.

Jaishankar also met his counterpart from Saint Lucia, Alva Baptiste, in Guyana.

India’s relations with Guyana are warm and cordial, with a high degree of understanding. (ANI)
