The ongoing threat to Guyana’s sovereignty by Venezuela was raised at the Guiana Shield conference held here this week.
At a press conference yesterday at Guyana Defence Force Headquarters, Camp Ayanganna, Home Affairs Minister Robeson Benn was asked by Stabroek News if the matter of Venezuela’s threat to this country had been raised.
Benn in reply underscored the significance of discussions, particularly regarding the Guyana-Venezuela border controversy. “The sovereign issues were all deliberated on and explored”, he said, adding that unequivocal support for Guyana was expressed by the attending nations.
