King Charles III arrived in Guyana on Thursday afternoon for a two-day state visit, receiving a ceremonial welcome at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport even as renewed demands for slavery reparations and controversy surrounding the detention of Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed cast a political backdrop over the royal engagement.
President Irfaan Ali, Cabinet ministers, senior government officials and representatives of the disciplined services welcomed the British monarch, whose visit is expected to focus on bilateral relations, environmental conservation, biodiversity and investment.
Members of the Guyana Defence Force mounted a ceremonial welcome as the King disembarked and was greeted by President Ali.
