PM WELCOMES OUTCOME OF VENEZUELA/GUYANA TALKS

A victory for CARICOM--so says Saint Lucia Prime Minister, Philip J. Pierre. In a historic step for regional diplomacy, Venezuela and Guyana pledged to resolve their long-simmering border dispute peacefully, marking a significant breakthrough brokered by CARICOM leaders. The agreement, reached during a high-level meeting in St. Vincent, commits both nations to dialogue and non-violent solutions, paving the way for potential resource sharing and a de-escalation of tensions in the oil-rich Essequibo region.
