St Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves on Thursday welcomed Guyana’s President Dr Irfaan Ali and Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro for high-level talks over their longstanding border dispute.
Guyana’s delegation includes Attorney General Anil Nandlall and Minister of Foreign Affairs Hugh Todd.
President Maduro’s delegation includes his Vice President Delcy Rodriguez.
Prime Minister Mia Mottley is also attending the meeting. Ahead of the meeting, Mottley said there would be no quick fix to the dispute.
“This is a patient process, it is a process where we need to leave all egos at the side, and where we need to focus on the big picture which is peace. I have every confidence that those of goodwill in the region, as all of us are, want peace,” Mottley said.
