Venezuela and Guyana to hold talks over disputed Essequibo territory
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Guyanese leader Muhammad Irfaan Ali will hold talks to resolve the territorial conflict between the two countries, the government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines announced on December 9.

The meeting is planned at the site of the Caribbean state on December 14, the government clarified. The negotiations will take place under the auspices of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean Countries and the Caribbean Community.

The proposal for negotiations to Nicolas Maduro was made in a telephone conversation with the President of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and the Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Goncalves.

As Regnum reported , on December 3, a referendum was held in Venezuela on the official inclusion of Essequibo into the country. More than half of the voters, over 10.43 million people, took part in the voting. All five questions regarding Venezuela's position in the territorial dispute received more than 95% approval. A few days later, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro signed decrees to incorporate the Essequibo territory, disputed with Guyana, into his country.

Guyanese President Irfaan Ali said that the country's authorities intend to appeal to the UN Security Council, as they consider Venezuela's actions to integrate the disputed region, taken after the referendum, as a threat to national security.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called on Venezuela and Guyana to refrain from any actions that could unbalance the situation in the region and cause mutual damage to the two countries. Moscow opposed external pressure and interference in the affairs of the two South American countries, especially since in relations between them there are “sensitive issues that require caution from third countries,” the department emphasized.
