PM Dr Keith Rowley has extended greetings to the nation in light of Divali celebrations.

Dr Rowley called on the nation to remember that it is ethnically and religiously diverse.

“We have lived, always celebrating our diversity in song, dance, foods, art, sport and leisure, since we came here. We have shown the world that Europe brought us here for its economic benefit, by different boats, at different times, but we have learnt to live with and celebrate our
Differences,” he said.

The Prime Minister also pleaded with citizens to use the Divali celebrations, to strengthen and build new bridges, “across the diversity we have celebrated for generations past.”
