We do thank France and all of Europe

Jan 22, 2021 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

I recently reflected on the influence of the French on our history. After all they did give us Le Bonne Intention, historically one of the best Sugar Estates in the country.
Good intentions and all, the culinary artistry of France has also evolved to the level of exquisite Veganism. An excellent pairing for an ecotourism centric society. The vegan global trend is now being linked to good health and increased survival against the Coronavirus. It is similar to the longevity associated with red wine of which our French friends have an excellent reputation. Thanks to the French, who have also been a part of our colonial heritage, our Society does still appreciate the finer things in life, excellent service and exemplary manners. Some may argue that the British have had a similar impact, but who am I to argue about the rivalry between neighbours. We do appreciate all of Europe in Guyana and thank our European friends for their historical gifts that keep giving. This has allowed for a very fruitful and mutually beneficial relationship to flourish over the years. They have stood by us throughout our history and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales has continued to visit us over the years. Europe continues to lead in sensitizing the world to climate change and has fostered its development in environmental consciousness.
We look forward to sharing with them the rediscovery of Our Beautiful Land via the Ecotourism Industry.
Thank you for the Paris Agreement on Climate Change!

Best regards,
Mr. Jamil Changlee
Chairman
The Cooperative Republicans of Guyana
