President Irfaan Ali yesterday visited communities in Region One and Region Seven and assured residents that Guyana remains committed to peacefully resolving the ongoing border controversy with Vene-zuela and that there was absolutely nothing to fear.
Tensions have sharply escalated in recent months over Venezuela’s plans for a referendum on December 3rd on its claim to Essequibo.
“We are not taking anything for granted…That is why our overall strategy is nothing to be alarmed about. There is absolutely nothing to fear. We are doing everything in accordance with international guidelines, and we believe that Venezuela will not act recklessly,” the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces affirmed while engaging residents at Kumaka in the Mabaruma sub-district.
