We salute you Cde Bharrat PPP congratulates Bharrat Jagdeo on latest international achievement The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) would once again like to congratulate our former President, Bharrat Jagdeo, on his recent election as Chairman of the Food and Agriculture Organisation’s 22nd Session of the Committee on Forestry (COFO) for the period 2014-2016. Our Party believes that this most recent bestowing of another international accolade on the former President is a result not only of his selfless hard work over the years, but also of his undisputed and continually rising international stature. His election to Chair this prestigious and very important international organization is both a vindication and recognition of his undoubtedly astute leadership qualities which were crucial in propelling Guyana’s modernization during his tenure as Head of State. Our Party is infused with an incredible sense of pride at Jagdeo’s achievements and clearly for such qualities to be recognised internationally, must be of tremendous pride to him. His rise which was achieved through selfless dedication from humble beginnings to an international leader, continues to be a source of inspiration to all Guyanese here and abroad, and has contributed to enhancing our nation’s international image over the years. His work has not only precipitated pride for our nation and its people, but has ensured that a small country like Guyana can provide a meaningful voice to positively impact leadership on international issues. Over the last few years there has been a constant bestowal of international commendation on this former President, including five Honorary Doctorates. Those from Trent University of Canada, the University of Central Lancashire and from TERI University of India, were in recognition of his global advocacy and leadership on the environment and climate change. His dedication to efforts to help save the planet resulted in him being the recipient of the United Nations “Champion of the Earth Award” and being asked to serve on the UN Secretary General’s High Level Advisory Group on Climate Finance. This followed him being named a “Hero of the Environment” by the TIME Magazine. Our Party has no doubt that given the inspiring leadership he provided to Guyana as a former Finance Minister and President, Jagdeo would successfully discharge his duties as the Chairman of the FAO’s Committee on Forestry, thereby setting new standards for our country. The PPP would like to extend best wishes to him as he embarks on his new endeavour despite calculated efforts by his detractors to besmirch his character.
