Dear President Lula da Silva,
I learnt with great satisfaction that you prevailed in the recent elections of your country Brazil. I have for years followed the twists and turns of our neighbour.
However, in the present environment your victory, is a victory for the essence of decency which prevailed over external and internal machinations. I wish you well, confident that you will improve the lives of every Brazilian.
Beyond that, demonstrate to this region and further afield, that you represent the quintessence of what democracy is all about. In other words, you provide leadership in circumstances where there is a challenge to democracy globally.
God’s blessings, long life and happy birth anniversary.
With highest consideration,
Hamilton Green
Former Primer Minister
Co-operative Republic of Guyana
