That will be Guyana’s message to all at the Heads of Government Conference,” Granger said in a statement.Foreign Affairs Minister, Carl Greenidge, was clear what the new Government’s stance would be.“It also affects states to the west and in that regard the Government of Colombia, like that of Guyana has lodged its objection. We will draw this to the attention of the Heads of the CARICOM States. Obviously, it is for those heads to take appropriate action, whatever the state of their current bilateral relations with Venezuela. Bilateral relations can only continue if you are a state!”In a separate statement, Greenidge said that silence is not an option if CARICOM is to remain independent, let alone as viable states.“We have to stoutly and unapologetically represent our interests and pursue fairness in the international arena.”Speaking on the possibility of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro attending the Summit, Greendige said that President Granger and the Cabinet are of the view that “while Guyana remains interested in seeing improved relations with the Maduro government, it is steadfast in its stand against the several illegal and increasingly militant actions of Venezuela directed against Guyana’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”He noted that analysis and those of the friendly bilaterals which have consulted in the last three weeks,Authentic NHL Jerseys, point to the fact that the 1787 decree promulgated by Venezuela, apart from being illegal in international law, seeks to appropriate for Venezuela marine spaces and related resources which currently constitute,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and are accepted as part of the EEZ of every state in the Eastern Caribbean ranging from St Kitts and Nevis to Grenada as well as Suriname.He was critical of Venezuela’s decree which now sees that country’s navy enforcing a security zone in Guyana’s waters… “It is no laughing matter, neither can it be an error if after six weeks it is still in force.”Yesterday, Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, disclosed that ExxonMobil’s executives, including its President Stephen M Greenlee, have reaffirmed their commitment to the exploration work being done offshore in Guyana’s waters.The US Company is moving forward in deploying additional resources to the current activities.Venezuela’s claims on Guyana is not affecting its current oil supplies under the Petro Caribe arrangements where this country and a number of others pay a percentage upfront and rest at low interest rate over 20-plus years period.Venezuela during a PetroCaribe summit in that country earlier this week assured that the supplies will continue despite low world prices.Venezuela’s President, Nicolas Maduro, was set to address his National Assembly on his country’s claims on Guyana but cancelled it. It was the second time in a week.According to Harmon yesterday, the meeting in Barbados will see Guyana also pushing for a harmonization of foreign policy in the region.To bolster its arguments in the Venezuela claims issue, the Government of Guyana has prepared a book, “CARICOM Geo-Politics”, which will be presented to the heads of Government during the Barbados summit.In addition to Minister Greenidge, accompanying the President will be Guyana’s Ambassador to Suriname,Cheap Authentic Jerseys, Keith George, and Director General (ag) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Audrey Jardine-Waddell.Ambassador George is considered an expert on the Venezuela border issue,cheap nfl jerseys, Harmon said yesterday.
