The United Nations (UN), last week, voiced satisfaction with the “progress” achieved towards a settlement of the territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana after the talks held with the parties involved. A technical delegation of the United Nations, headed by Susana Malcorra, Chef de Cabinet to the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, ended on Wednesday its visit to Caracas and Georgetown.
The mission was arranged late in September when Presidents David Granger and Nicolas Maduro met with the UN Chief, Ban Ki-moon, in New York.
The United Nations spokesperson, Farhan Haq, at a press conference stated that Malcorra was “satisfied” with the progress achieved to settle the controversy.
The UN representatives held meetings in Georgetown and Caracas with the Heads of State and the relevant ministers of foreign affairs and other officials.
