Tomorrow’s planned meeting between President Irfaan Ali and his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolás Maduro in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), is scheduled to take place at the Argyle International Airport for security and diplomatic reasons, sources say.
At the meeting brokered by SVG Prime Minister, Ralph Gonsalves, leaders confirmed to attend are CARICOM Chairman and Prime Minister of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit along with Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago Keith Rowley.
Brazilian President, Luis Inacio ‘Lula’ Da Silva was expected to be there, but instead will send that country’s former Foreign Minister and current Presidential Advisor on International affairs, Celso Amorim, the Brazilian press yesterday reported. Amorim had visited Venezuela last month and had raised the Guyana issue, according to the Brazilian President.
