I am extremely pleased to join the nation in observing the anniversary of Arrival day in our country. We are a diverse nation; our nation has been peopled by various ethnic groups who over the course of our history came from different lands and who transposed their cultures to this land, in the process diversifying and enriching the cultural mosaic of Guyana. I hail the indomitable spirit of these early immigrants. They came with a pioneering spirit to a land of which they knew very little but to which they were prepared to dedicate their energies in order to make a good life for themselves and their families. They came here with a conviction to struggle and to work hard, hoping that their offspring and generations to come would benefit from their sacrifice. Life was not easy for these immigrants and their descendants. But theirs was a spirit that would not succumb to disillusionment. They continued to carve out a place for themselves in this land and have distinguished themselves in all aspects of our national life. Happy Arrival day to all
