GUYANA’S leadership in the Caribbean continues to win international approval.
United States Ambassador Nicole Theriot’s acknowledgment of Guyana’s stand on Venezuela is another high point in regional diplomacy.
Ambassador Theriot hailed Guyana and Suriname for publicly supporting the thrust for democracy in strife-torn Venezuela.
The US is “extremely pleased” at the support of the two countries in “defending democracy,” the envoy stated.
Other nations in the 15-member Caricom have sidestepped the Guyana-Suriname statement, with some previously congratulating Nicolas Maduro, who is clutching onto power despite evidence of election rigging.
Guyana has shown leadership in several other regional matters, including the food plan, the Haitian crisis, strengthening the single market and economy, and West Indian cricket.
On the issue of Venezuela’s disputed presidential election, Guyana’s Foreign Secretary Robert Persaud that Caribbean operatives “who seek to justify rigging, must decide which side of history they want to be on.”
The US has said that the election process was “deeply flawed” and that “the announced outcome does not represent the will of the Venezuelan people.”
