DURING a meeting with representatives of the regional media fraternity in Kingstown, St Vincent Monday, President Bharrat Jagdeo reiterated his government’s commitment to promoting and sustaining the fundamental right of freedom of the press.
The President extended an invitation to representatives of the Caribbean media to visit Guyana, which would afford them the opportunity to observe first-hand, the freedom which media practitioners in Guyana enjoy, in keeping with his government’s commitment to democracy and freedom of expression.
