PNC/R congratulates GDF on its 45th anniversary- army stood to the side of the people

The People’s National Congress Reform extends its warmest congratulations to the officers, soldiers, reservists and veterans of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) on the occasion of the 45th Anniversary of the founding of the Force on 1st November 1965.
The Party recalls that, from the very start, the young Guyana Defence Force was obliged to confront challenges both inside the country and on its borders.
The first minister of defence of Guyana was the late President LFS Burnhum.
The main opposition party says the GDF has always been loyal to the Government of the day and has stood on the side of the people even though political administrations have changed.
