Guyana yesterday signalled support for a second International Decade for People of African Descent.
This position was asserted by Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Oneidge Walrond, as she addressed delegates at the Opening of the Third Session of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent in Geneva, Switzerland on Tuesday.
The United Nations General Assembly had, in December 2013, proclaimed 2015-2024 the International Decade for the People of African Descent. Since then, there have been general calls for an extension to this period.
