India can play bigger role in global development – Ramotar

President Donald Ramotar said India can play a lead role in representing the concerns of developing countries, in his address on Thursday at the 13th Annual Pravasi Bharatiya Divas in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India.

Ramotar, who was the chief guest at the forum, said while Guyana is deeply appreciative of the fertile relations between the two nations that has resulted in numerous instances of support, “we look forward to the further consolidation of this role.”
