I commend our Foreign Affairs Minister for facilitating the issuing of Hajj visas

Oct 23, 2011 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,  
I take this opportunity to express profound gratitude and appreciation to our Honorable. Mrs. Carolyn Allison Rodrigues – Birkett – Minister of Foreign Affairs for initiating and facilitating the bilateral agreement between the Government of Guyana and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for Immigration Officials from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to visit Georgetown, Guyana during October, 2011 to issue Hajj visa for all Guyanese who will be performing the obligatory Islamic rituals of Hajj in Mecca – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during November, 2011.
This is another milestone for Honorable. Mrs. Carolyn Allison Rodrigues – Birkett since she has championed many causes for the people of Guyana, especially the plight of our Amerindian brothers and sisters during her seven-year tenure as Minister of Amerindian Affairs.
The issuing of Hajj visas to Guyanese in the past who desired to perform the obligatory Islamic rituals in Mecca – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, would be faced with the additional financial, physical and security burdens of either travelling to Venezuela or Brazil to attain the requisite visas. However, this will now be a thing of the past with the precedence now set by of our Honorable Minister of Foreign Affairs.
As our Guyanese hajjis prepare to depart Guyana for an approximately three days travelling to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; we join in expressing sincere thanks and gratitude to the Government of Guyana, especially Honorable. Mrs. Carolyn Allison Rodrigues – Birkett for her brilliance and skills for initiating and facilitating bilateral agreements between Guyana and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
We hope this undertaking is the beginning of a great bond and friendship between the Government of Guyana and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Thank you.
 Mr. Nazar Mohamed
