French President Emmanuel Macron has reaffirmed France’s commitment to respecting Guyana’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in accordance with international law.
In a letter to President Dr Irfaan Ali marking Guyana’s 60th Independence Anniversary and 60 years of diplomatic relations between the two nations, Macron highlighted the importance of the partnership between France and Guyana amid shared regional challenges.
“Following the opening of the hearings before the International Court of Justice concerning the dispute over the Essequibo region, France reaffirms its commitment to the respect for Guyana’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, in accordance with international law,” the letter stated.
The French President noted that France remains deeply committed to its relationship with Guyana, particularly within the Guyana Shield, where both countries continue to collaborate in support of peace, cooperation, and human rights.
“The opening of our Embassy in Georgetown on 1 September 2025 has helped to further strengthen the ties between our two countries, and I sincerely hope that we will soon be able to conclude the various draft agreements currently under negotiation in the fields of justice, security and defence. In this regard, I welcome the active participation of the French Armed Forces in French Guiana in the events organised to mark Independence celebrations,” Macron added.
