Trinidad and Tobago is expecting that Venezuela will do nothing to prevent Guyana from realizing the development of its natural resources for its people, T&T PM Dr Keith Rowley said last night, even as he joined Suriname President Desi Bouterse in calling for peace to reign in the region.
Rowley and Bouterse were approached on the sidelines of the opening of the 37th Caricom Heads of Government Conference last evening at the National Cultural Centre on what is the hottest issue for Guyana. Guyana has approached the United Nations seeking to have a juridical settlement of the border controversy and President David Granger has already expressed his desire to have Caricom’s support on this front.
Rowley told reporters that his island’s position on the controversy is a very simple one.
