Guyana prepared to give Good Offices process one last try – Greenidge

Minister of Foreign Affairs Carl Greenidge yesterday said that while Guyana has lost faith in the UN Good Offices process as it relates to the country’s border controversy with Venezuela, it is willing to give it one last try.

The minister made this statement in the National Assembly as he updated members of last Friday’s decision by outgoing UN General Secretary Ban Ki-moon that the Good Offices process on the decades-old border controversy between the two countries will be given one more year and if by the end of 2017 “significant progress” has not been made, the case will move to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
