Arreaza made clear that waters in which the Exxon Mobile vessel was located are marine and submarine areas pending delimitation between Venezuela and Guyana, so no company should exercise any economic activity in these areas.
ALBA-TCP’s Executive Secretary emphasized that economic activities in the region, like the Guyanese and ExxonMobile only then could produce, until the respective coastal countries have negotiated and agreed on the corresponding delimitation.
“Supporting economic activities in undelimited waters jeopardizes peace and fosters unnecessary tensions and conflicts,” Arreaza says in his brief statement.
“That is what the moribund OAS Secretariat has been doing since Almagro came into office: causing conflicts, coups d’état and threatening the peace and security of the Latin American and Caribbean countries,” he finalizes.
Earlier this Saturday, Venezuela rejected the statements of the Guyanese President Irfaan Ali and calls them “baseless,” after Ali stated that units of the Bolivarian Navy of Venezuela violated the Guyanese maritime territory, Not to mention that this is a maritime area which has yet to be delimited in accordance with international law.
In addition, the Venezuelan Vice-President Delsy Rodriguez rejected as well a Caribbean Community (CARICOM)’s statement supporting Guyana’s and US Southern Command plans to attack Venezuela and create a war in the region.
