Reassuring words from President Maduro
GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Chronicle - THE visit by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, despite being a short
one, from all indications seems to be a fruitful and productive one as several important agreements were clinched and it is evident that relations between the two South American neighbours will become closer and stronger, much to the benefit of their peoples.
What is notable about relations between the two countries is that despite a long border dispute which caused strains, and sometimes reached ominous levels, is that the friendship and cooperation grew stronger over the past decades, particularly during the presidency of the late Hugo Chavez. And it seems that President Maduro is committed to stay on the course of his late colleague and predecessor.
However, during his first visit to Guyana, President Maduro made some interesting revelations and disclosures on the border issue which undoubtedly brings greater clarity as to the source of the controversy and at the same time strong assurances by the Venezuelan government that there is no threat of a military invasion of Guyana.
