Despite a new salvo of criticism from the Venezuela government yesterday, Foreign Affairs Minister Sean Sobers is reassuring the public that relations between T&T and its neighbour remain strong and stable.
The assurance follows Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s warning that deadly force could be used against unidentified vessels entering Trinidadian waters from Venezuela. Her statement came in the wake of allegations by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro that a Colombian paramilitary group, alongside one Trinidadian, attempted to enter his country via T&T recently. The group was said to have had plans to destabilise the Venezuelan government.
Yesterday, Sobers met with Venezuela’s Ambassador to T&T, Álvaro Sánchez Cordero, during a pre-scheduled courtesy call at the Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs in Port-of-Spain.
