Venezuela, Guyana Seek to Defuse Territorial Dispute

摘要

In an effort to defuse tensions over oil exploration in disputed waters, the foreign ministers of Venezuela and Guyana have pledged to take steps to define the two countries' maritime boundary. A statement to that effect was released after talks between Elias Jaua, Venezuela's foreign minister, and his Guyanese counterpart, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
