- The hangar at Eugene F. Correia International Airport represents a commitment to advancing Guyana’s military infrastructure.
- President Ali clarified that defence spending focuses on protection and national security rather than preparing for war.
- The GDF Air Corps will be upgraded with improved equipment and resources to better monitor borders and threats.
- In addition to border security, the GDF plays a vital role in humanitarian aid and emergency response efforts.
security is not an expense, it is an investment. A nation that cannot defend itself is a nation that cannot develop itself. A safe Guyana is a prosperous Guyana. A secure Guyana is a stable Guyana. Every dollar spent on strengthening our defence force is a dollar spent in safeguarding our economic potential, ensuring that investors have confidence in our stability, and protecting the very foundation upon which development is built.— President Irfaan Ali, during the commissioning of the GDF hangar at the Eugene F. Correia International Airport (Ogle).
