Grenada PM joins Guyanese diaspora in Diamond Jubilee Independence celebration

The Office of the Honorary Consul of Guyana, in collaboration with the Guyanese diaspora in Grenada, hosted a celebration marking the 60th anniversary of Guyana’s independence, drawing what organisers described as the largest gathering of Guyanese nationals and friends of Guyana in Grenada in more than a decade.
Grenada Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell attended the event, where he reaffirmed his government’s commitment to strengthening bilateral ties with Guyana and extended congratulations on the Diamond Jubilee milestone.
The celebration featured remarks from Justice Paula Gilford, Darshan Ramdhani, K.C., and Honorary Consul Sabrita Khan-Ramdhani, who highlighted Guyana’s progress, diaspora unity and cultural links between Guyana and Grenada.
Organisers said the event brought together culture, music and cuisine, creating an atmosphere of fellowship among attendees.
“The overwhelming support and attendance demonstrated the deep love and pride the Guyanese Diaspora continues to hold for their homeland,” Honorary Consul Sabrita Khan-Ramdhani said.
“This Diamond Jubilee celebration was more than an event — it was a powerful reminder of our shared heritage, unity, and commitment to preserving Guyanese culture for future generations,” she added.
Organisers said the gathering underscored the diaspora’s continued connection to Guyana as it marks 60 years of independence and national development.
