Both nations have agreed to the meeting and requested the presence of the President of the Federative Republic of Brazil, His Excellency Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.<\/p>\n<p>The leaders of CELAC and CARICOM have expressed the urgent need to de-escalate the conflict and institute an appropriate dialogue between the President of Guyana Dr. Irfaan Ali, and President of Venezuela, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro. Both nations have committed to maintaining the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace and upholding international law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you are aware in my capacity as Chairman of CARICOM, I joined Dr Ralph Gonzalves the Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines and the current Chair of CELAC in facilitating a meeting between the President of Guyana and Venezuela on Thursday last week,\u201d Skerrit said. \u201cThe meeting was called to address the territorial controversy between the two countries and I am happy to report that it was the most fruitful dialogue which resulted in key points of agreement between the two parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Skerrit, both sides have agreed that there will be no threat or force in any circumstances and that the controversy between the two states will be resolved in accordance with international law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was further agreement that the dialogue will continue on matters of mutual interests between the two countries and they will refrain from escalating any further conflict or disagreement,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>This, he said, is a result that they were hoping for, and he also believed the heads who participated all left the meeting satisfied with the efforts of CELAC and CARICOM to meet an amicable solution.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the Prime Minister stated that they were grateful that the two leaders consented in good faith to the dialogue, \u201cand were able to issue a joint declaration for dialogue and peace between Guyana and Venezuela.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, he believes this speaks to the strength and importance of CARICOM as a regional block, acting as an effective mediator in times of conflict or disagreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe remain committed to avoiding tensions and maintaining peace in our region,\u201d Skerrit stated.<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cAs CARICOM Chair I was happy to play a role in facilitating the successful meeting between Guyana, a member of CARICOM and a friend of Dominica and Venezuela which we all know has also proven itself to be a true friend of our country Dominica.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The border controversy has been a point of contention for both nations, with Guyana seeking a resolution through the International Court of Justice (ICJ), a path rejected by Venezuela. The Parliament of Guyana has unanimously instructed the President of Guyana not to discuss the border controversy with the government of Venezuela. Meanwhile, the people of Venezuela have overwhelmingly advised their government not to accept the jurisdiction of the ICJ in a consultative referendum held on December 3, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting represented a significant step towards peaceful co-existence, respect for international law, and the avoidance of the use of threats or force.<\/p>\n<p>The territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana, which has been ongoing for over a century, has recently escalated due to the discovery of significant oil reserves. Venezuela claims ownership of the Essequibo region, which makes up more than two-thirds of Guyana. In December 2023, Venezuela held a referendum, showing support for annexation of the region. This move has been met with international criticism, with countries like Brazil, the UK, and the US supporting Guyana\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<p>The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has warned Venezuela against any direct action in the region, as a trial is scheduled for early 2024.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_314148\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314148\" style=\"width: 642px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-314148\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-area-in-orange-is-part-of-Guyana-but-is-claimed-by-Venezuela.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"642\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-area-in-orange-is-part-of-Guyana-but-is-claimed-by-Venezuela.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-area-in-orange-is-part-of-Guyana-but-is-claimed-by-Venezuela-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-area-in-orange-is-part-of-Guyana-but-is-claimed-by-Venezuela-640x360.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-314148\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The area in orange is part of Guyana but is claimed by Venezuela<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chairman of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit has described his recent meeting in St Vincent which was aimed at addressing the longstanding border dispute between Guyana and Venezuela as \u201cthe most fruitful dialogue.\u201d He made this remark&#8230;","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":314149,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[286,77,235,76,9,12,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-314146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-governance","category-homepage","category-homepage-carousel","category-international-relations","category-news","category-politics","category-regional"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
