Joint Services ‘committed to national security, professional service’ 

See below the full statement issued by the Joint Services of Guyana: 

The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and its partners in the Joint Services continue to stand on the frontlines of safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty, protecting our nation’s security, and ensuring the safety of every citizen.

Every mission undertaken, whether defending borders, upholding the rule of law, or responding to national emergencies, is carried out with professionalism, integrity, and sacrifice.

Recent comments in the public domain, including on social and traditional media, have sought to cast doubt on this commitment. Such remarks overlook the dedication of the men and women in uniform who serve the country with impartiality and discipline.

The members of the Joint Services serve all Guyanese, without fear or favour, regardless of politics, religion, ethnicity, or social standing. This has always been and will remain a core component of the Joint Services as we continue to execute our mandate to serve our citizens.

Stakeholders and commentators are encouraged to engage constructively and to recognise that national security is a shared responsibility and a cornerstone of the nation’s independence and freedom.
