Guyana must comply with the Geneva Agreement, as the only valid path toward a solution regarding the Essquibo region.
On Wednesday, Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Minister Yvan Gil published a statement emphasizing that Guyanese President Mohamed Irfaan Ali demonstrated desperation and dishonesty in his attempt to disregard the 1966 Geneva Agreement as the only legitimate and suitable mechanism to resolve the territorial dispute over the Essequibo region. Below is his full statement:

Venezuela Rejects U.S. Threats, Vows to Defend Essequibo as Sovereign Territory
“The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela categorically rejects the statement issued by the Cooperative Republic of Guyana regarding the communication sent by Venezuela to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
In its statement, Guyana continues its desperate and irresponsible attempt to distort and disregard the legally binding obligations undertaken with the signing of the 1966 Geneva Agreement, under which the territorial dispute over the Essequibo region must be resolved through a practical and mutually acceptable arrangement between the parties.
Venezuela has demonstrated that Guyana not only sabotaged the good offices process developed by the UN Secretary-General in accordance with the Geneva Agreement, but also exerted undue and illegitimate pressure on the UN Secretariat to have the dispute irregularly referred to the International Court of Justice, in violation of the UN Charter itself—thanks to lobbying and financial support from ExxonMobil.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reaffirms that the International Court of Justice has no jurisdiction to hear Guyana’s unilateral claim regarding the “validity” of the 1899 arbitral award. True to its historical stance, Venezuela will never recognize any decision issued by that body concerning the territorial dispute over the Essequibo region.
This position was overwhelmingly reaffirmed by the Venezuelan people in the consultative referendum held on December 3, 2023.
Guyana’s lies will become its own torment. Sooner or later, it will have to sit at the negotiating table to reach the practical and mutually acceptable arrangement mandated by the Geneva Agreement. This instrument remains in force and is the legal framework that must be faithfully observed by both parties in accordance with international law.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela demands that the Cooperative Republic of Guyana put an end to its campaign of lies and strictly comply with the Geneva Agreement, as the only valid path toward a definitive, peaceful, and mutually satisfactory solution regarding the territory of the Essequibo region.
The sun of Venezuela rises in the Essequibo.”
