President David Granger yesterday called on the nation to view Guyana’s diversity as an asset and not a liability and to use the occasion of the declaration of Social Cohesion Day, May 11, to reject divisive political culture, a release from the Ministry of the Presidency said.

The President made these remarks at the National Day of Prayer event at D’Urban Park. “We are proud to belong to a society of many faiths. We are proud of the tapestry of ethnicity within our country,” President Granger said, in his charge to the large gathering of people, who braved the rain to assemble at D’urban Park, the release said.
