President Irfaan Ali has assured that Guyana will not abandon the judicial path it has undertaken to resolve the ongoing border controversy with Venezuela.

Ali gave the assurance on Wednesday while delivering his Independence Day address on the Essequibo Coast –a part of Guyana that Venezuela is claiming ownership of.

“Independence imposes [upon] us, the duty to safeguard Guyana’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty. On these issues, Guyanese must broker no division. We must continue to stand united in defending our motherland from external fronts.
