Venezuela urges Guyana talks to resolve Ishiquibo dispute
Venezuelan interim President Delsy Rodriguez has issued a call to resolve the ongoing border dispute with Guyana, which has lasted for more than 125 years, over the Guayana Esequiba region through direct negotiations. She considers that the resolution of the dispute should be based on the 1966 Geneva Agreement, which stipulates that both parties should engage in negotiations. This call comes amid heightened tension, following Guyana's decision in April 2023 to refer the matter to the International Court of Justice, a move that Venezuela rejects, refusing to recognize the Court's jurisdiction and reaffirming its preference for direct talks. The region, covering an area of 159,500 square kilometers, is rich in oil and accounts for more than two-thirds of Guyana's territory, further stoking tensions over its sovereignty—particularly after Guyana's decision in April 2024 to annex the region as a state within Venezuela, following a national referendum.
