President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali of Guyana conferred PM Narendra Modi with the highest national award of Guyana ‘The Order of Excellence’, for his exceptional service to the global community, statesmanship and contribution in deepening India-Guyana ties.”
The ceremony was held at the State House in Georgetown, Guyana.
On this occasion, Guyana’s President Mohamed Irfaan Ali said that technology, innovation and digitization must not be used to widen the gap between the countries and these advancements must be made to reduce the gap and poverty and bring the world closer together.
“India has been championing new technology innovation and PM Modi reminded us in CARICOM that you are a member of this CARICOM family. We want you to know we hold you as a member of this CARICOM family…,” said the Guyana President.
Thanking the Guyana President for the honour, PM Modi said, “Sincerely thank President Dr. Irfaan Ali, for conferring upon me Guyana’s highest honour, ‘The Order of Excellence.’ This is a recognition of the 140 crore people of India.”

“Guyana, blessed with numerous waterfalls and lakes is called ‘The Land of Many Waters’… Just as the rivers of Guyana are a part of the cultural identity of the people here, rivers of India like the Ganga, Yamuna and Brahmaputra have been the birthplace of our ancient civilisation. There are many such examples of similarities between India and Guyana…”
