Foreign and Caricom Affairs Minister Sean Sobers says Trinidad and Tobago is more concerned with the substance of diplomatic engagement with Venezuela than with the clothing or jewellery worn by acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez.
Sobers made the comment during yesterday’s post-Cabinet media briefing, while responding to questions about controversy surrounding a brooch worn by Rodríguez depicting a map of Venezuela that includes Guyana’s Essequibo region.
Last month, Guyana’s President Dr Irfaan Ali wrote to Caricom Chairman Dr Terrance Drew objecting to Rodríguez’s use of the brooch during official engagements with regional leaders, including Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley.
