Venezuela’s act­ing Pres­i­dent Del­cy Ro­dríguez has made it clear that Venezuela will con­tin­ue to de­fend its claim to own­er­ship of the dis­put­ed Es­se­qui­bo re­gion in Guyana.

“We will soon be at the In­ter­na­tion­al Court of Jus­tice in the com­ing days to reaf­firm our his­toric po­si­tion, which is in­ter­na­tion­al law and re­spect for the Gene­va Agree­ment. It is out­ra­geous when Venezuela is at­tacked, and that is why we are un­der­tak­ing this en­tire process of spir­i­tu­al re­vi­tal­i­sa­tion for the good of our na­tion,” she said.

She spoke on Tues­day at an an­ti-sanc­tions ral­ly at the Mu­nic­i­pal The­atre of Va­len­cia in the Venezue­lan state of Carabobo.
