The petrocaribe deal that Venezuela has with Guyana is expected to continue, the two countries would forge stronger bonds, thus improving the social economic status of both nations.

“Guyana has over the years enjoyed a special relationship with Venezuela and has shared much, both in terms of economic activity and in terms of values, common positions on international fora, collaboration on international events and collaboration on the multilateral level,” said Singh.

“We value greatly the relationship with our Venezuelan neighbours and friends and we can think of many examples of practical manifestations of the richness and strength of our relationship. Perhaps more prominently is the PetroCaribe relationship,” he said. He added that this is an initiative that proved to be transformational to the entire Caribbean region. “Guyana is an appreciative beneficiary of the PetroCaribe initiative,” said the Minister. “We regard this initiative as a good example of collaboration and cooperation for mutual benefit,” he said.

“We look forward with great excitement and anticipation to the visit of President Maduro … We anticipate that this visit will lay the foundation for further strengthening of relations between Guyana and Venezuela.”

Speaking at the opening of the meeting, leader of the Venezuelan delegation Vice President of the state oil company PDVSA Asdrubal Chavez said that the cooperation between Venezuela and Guyana, which has strengthened with time, is something that late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez created as an organ of integration for the Caribbean and Central America.

“It has touched us in this region undoubtedly and we have had very significant success that has carried us,” Chavez, a cousin of the late president said. “In addition to PetroCaribe we have cooperation in agriculture, health, transport and education. We believe that this mechanism of PetroCaribe can complete a function that is very fundamental in what is the construction of the cooperation of our two countries,” he said.

He added that the relationship is an open and frank one which does not require actions that go against a country’s sovereignty “and this is how our Supreme Commander (the late President) dreamt of it.”

What a crock of baloney and the PPP Commies soak us this bullshit and then sell it the masses. If they don't want to go against Guyana's sovereignty, they should drop their claims to land owned by the sovereign state of Guyana. Rummouthar, be a man and demand that these claims be dropped immediately.

This is great news. Now, when are we getting back Ankoko?

Sheik101

Most Venezuelans believe Essequibo is part of their country, including grassroots supporters of Maduro. That's the stark reality.

Hugo Chavez didn't make the territorial claim an issue or obstacle to relations with Guyana, wisely so.

If Chavez had forfeited the claim, the whole Veno nation would have risen up in arms against him.

Similarly, if Maduro cancels the claim, he commits political suicide.

So why didn't he publicly and legally drop the claims on the Essequibo? That's all bullshit talk when legally you are pursuing Guyana's land and have maps of Venezuela which include the Essequibo.
