Leader of the Opposition, Aubrey Norton yesterday confirmed that although the Opposition was invited to the meeting between President Irfaan Ali and Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro they decided to opt out as the government was not “specific” about the meeting.
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) brokered a meeting between the two countries following heightened tensions over their border controversy. The meeting was held yesterday in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Norton at his press conference, while offering his support for dialogue between the two sides, stressed that the agenda for yesterday’s meeting should have been clearly defined which the government had failed to have done.
