President David Granger yesterday called on the international community to ensure that Venezuela is not allowed to thwart the processes of judicial settlement of a long-running border controversy with Guyana.
He was at the time addressing the 72nd Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) in New York.
“’Striving for peace’ and the right to development have been Guyana’s deepest concerns since Independence 1966,” Granger noted. He reminded the Assembly that a year ago he had explained the dangers Guyana has been facing on its borders as a consequence of the territorial claims of its western neighbour, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
