Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said Monday that his country is prepared to act as a mediator in the current conflict between the United States and Venezuela, reiterating that the Caribbean region should always be a zone of peace.
Speaking at the end of year news conference, PM Skerrit told reporters that Dominica and the wider Caribbean Community (CARICOM) region is urging “dialogue and diplomacy” to deal with the situation, given that “there would be an impact on every country” should there be a war in the Caribbean.
“Dominica is a good friend of both the United States and Venezuela, and in the past we have worked together as an intermediary,” he stated, “and we are prepared to do so in this current situation if there are messages from either side to each other.”
