“The territorial controversy surrounding Guayana Esequiba does not concern you. I recommend that you @melaniejoly take care of your problems. Canada’s position is interventionist, provocative and hostile. We will not allow you to disrupt our path to peace, we have a well-defined agenda by the Geneva Agreement and you are not part of it.

On December 15, the Government of Canada announced:through a declaration– which supports the government of Guyana in the border conflict with Venezuela.

Likewise, he expresses that Canada reaffirms its support for the sovereignty of Guyana and seeks a peaceful and diplomatic solution to the dispute before the International Court of Justice.
