The Venezuelan border controversy was one of the issues discussed when Minister of Foreign Affairs Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett met United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon on Friday.
According to a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs their discussions focused “on the continued involvement of the United Nations Secretary General in the solution of the controversy which arose as the result of the Venezuelan contention that the Arbitral Award of 1899 that definitely settled the land boundary between Guyana and Venezuela, is null and void.”
The statement said that Rodrigues and the Secretary General had met on the margins of the UN General Assembly session, and climate change issues as well as development financing were subjects covered during their exchanges.
