Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC has announced that a delegation from this country will travel to Venezuela to advance T&T’s oil and gas interests.

During her address at the handover ceremony of fire tenders in Penal on Wednesday, the Prime Minister assured citizens that the government is working towards securing this country’s energy future.

“I just want to tell you we’ve been working really hard with the government of the United States and other governments, and that shortly a diplomatic delegation will depart Trinidad and Tobago to go to Venezuela to ensure we get our just share of the oil and gas that we partly own through the NGC. So whilst we look at your safety and security in this sense, we are looking at your safety and security in the economic space, which is very important. We have not forgotten.”
