Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Hugh Todd yesterday told the National Assembly that Venezuela has been increasingly active in Guyana’s maritime space since January 7, 2021.
Speaking before the House at the start of the 16th Sitting of the 12th Assembly, Todd explained that since Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced that he had established “a new maritime territory” navy vessels and other Venezuelan assets had illegally patrolled Guyana’s maritime space and continue to undermine its development by threatening Guyana’s sovereign rights and hindering economic activity.
