President David Granger who is in Malta for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Conference will be pushing a number of global issues that are crucial to Guyana. Foremost amongst these is, the border controversy with Venezuela, GINA said today.

Speaking with the Guyana press corps covering the conference, the president said the border controversy is at the top of the agenda for the Guyana delegation. “Over the last 30 years, the Commonwealth has been one of the strongest voices in the international community on the rights of small states, not only in terms of the environment, but in terms of security and economic vulnerability,” the President said.
