Foreign Minister Hugh Todd yesterday said that his Brazilian counterpart has expressed support for the International Court of Justice (ICJ) process for the resolution of the Guyana-Venezuela border controversy.
Todd’s statement came following a virtual meeting yesterday with Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira.
A release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Todd during the meeting reiterated Guyana’s commitment to a peaceful resolution of the controversy in accordance with international law and emphasised that the current ICJ process represents a mutually agreed mechanism for a peaceful, just, binding and permanent settlement of the controversy over the validity of the 1899 Arbitral Award which fixed the boundary between the two countries.
