#Guyana, January 4, 2023 – Elected to serve in June last year, Guyana took its seat on the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday, January 2nd, for a two-year term.
It joins the Council for the third time as a non-permanent member, and this time under the theme “Partnering for Peace and Prosperity.” A Flag Ceremony was held, and Guyana’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Carolyn Rodrigues-Burkett, installed the country’s flag.
Speaking at the ceremony, Birkett highlighted Guyana’s intention as a member of the council.
Joining Guyana are five other countries, namely Algeria, Korea, Sierra Leone, and Slovenia.
