Venezuela's ambassador to TT Alvaro Sanchez Cordero, says that country fully supports the Caricom ten-point plan including demands for a full formal apology from the former European empires for the native genocide and chattel slavery.

He added that the South American country also supports the call for funding by these former colonial powers to establish an Indigenous Peoples Development Programme.

"In this regard, we call on the global community to recognise the success of our constitutional commitment and join us in demanding that those who profited from the original crimes – the European states – finally pay their due," Cordero said.
