President Donald Ramotar yesterday extended congratulations to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on his victory at the general elections on Sunday.
The President was quoted as saying in a press release that the government and people of Guyana join him in expressing sincere wishes to the Venezuelan president for even greater success in this term of office for which the people of Venezuela have renewed his mandate in a most decisive manner.
In his message to the Venezuelan president, President Ramotar said that he looks forward to working with him towards preserving and strengthening the friendship, cooperation and mutual respect which have characterized the relations between the two countries in recent years.
He also said that Guyana shares Venezuela’s ideals for greater integration amongst the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean which Chavez has strenuously sought to promote and he is happy that they will be able to continue to collaborate at the regional level in pursuit of this goal.
