On the occasion of the 58th anniversary of the Geneva Agreement, the Executive Vice President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, through a communiqué, denounced and rejected the hostile, militaristic and arrogant statements by the Cooperative Republic of Guyana that under a false victim disguise openly violates the Geneva Agreement signed on February 17, 1966.
From the Casa Amarilla (main headquarters of the Chancellery of the Republic, in Caracas), Rodríguez highlighted that despite Venezuela’s unwavering will to apply the content of the Geneva Agreement deposited in the General Secretariat of the United Nations Organization, it is worrying the continued disrespect and lack of willingness of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana towards its historical and legal commitments.
Likewise, through the communiqué the national government repudiated «the recent visits and statements by senior US security and defense officials for equipping, training and so-called cooperation, in military maneuvers with Guyana, (which) constitute an open threat to the tranquility and peace of Venezuela and the Latin American and Caribbean region.”
The Executive Vice President emphasized that the Geneva Agreement guarantees coexistence and legality to resolve the controversy and must be the instrument for the solution:
«What has united our people, who today in one voice says the Sun of Venezuela is born in Essequibo, and will never renounce its rights, long live the Geneva Agreement 58 years after its creation,» he noted.
The Vice President of the Republic was accompanied by the Minister of People’s Power for Defense, GJ/ Vladimir Padrino López; the Chancellor Yván Gil; the sole authority of Guayana Esequiba, Alexis Rodríguez Cabello, and the deputy of the National Assembly (AN), Hermann Escarrá.
