The Grena­da gov­ern­ment is propos­ing that a tri-lat­er­al joint com­mis­sion be es­tab­lished with Venezuela and St Vin­cent and the Grenadines to guide the process for de­mar­cat­ing mar­itime bound­aries.

“Grena­da has al­so start­ed an ini­tia­tive to de­lim­it the mar­itime bound­aries with Venezuela and with St Vin­cent and the Grenadines. We com­plet­ed the process you know with Trinidad and To­ba­go back in 2012, we have nev­er been clear on what is the bound­ary be­tween Grena­da and Venezuela and what is the bound­ary be­tween St Vin­cent and Grena­da,” said Naz­im Burke, chair­man of Grena­da’s oil and gas Tech­ni­cal Work­ing Group (TWG).

Burke, a for­mer fi­nance min­is­ter, pro­vid­ing an up­date on the TWG ac­tiv­i­ties dur­ing a town hall meet­ing here, said that Prime Min­is­ter Dick­on Mitchell has al­ready sub­mit­ted the tri-lat­er­al pro­pos­al to the lead­ers of the two oth­er coun­tries.
