Following reports that Russia deployed two long-range bombers to Venezuela on Monday, Minister of Foreign Affairs Carl Greenidge, noted that government is monitoring the ongoing developments.
A statement released by the ministry yesterday acknowledged that “….military exercises are a regular feature of state relations and do not in themselves constitute a threat.”
Referencing the border controversy, it stated that “Guyana remains open to pursuing meaningful functional cooperation with Venezuela whenever that opportunity arises,” and went on to issue the reminder that “Guyana and Russia have had cordial diplomatic relations since December 17, 1970”.
