The Executive Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, recalled this Monday that, in May 1966, the national Government recognized the Independence of Guyana from the United Kingdom, in a document presented to the General Assembly and the Security Council of the United Nations (UN), where it also ratified its position regarding the territorial rights of Venezuela over Guiana That sequiba.

“58 years ago we recognized Guyana's independence from the United Kingdom and we made our firm position very clear that Guiana Essequiba belongs to Venezuela and we will never give up our historical rights,” Rodríguez said through his account on the social network X.

The Vice President shared an extract from that important document in which she highlights that “Venezuela recognizes as the territory of the new State the one located to the east of the right bank of the Essequibo River, and reiterates to the new country, and to the international community, that it expressly reserves its rights of territorial sovereignty over the entire area that is located on the left bank of the aforementioned river”.

It adds that, “ as a result, the territory of Guiana Esequiba, over which Venezuela expressly reserves its sovereign rights, borders the new State of Guyana to the East, through the line of the Essequibo River, which was taken from its source to its mouth into the Atlantic Ocean”.
