Minister of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs Sean Sobers and Ambassador of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Álvaro Sánchez Cordero have agreed to maintain open diplomatic channels.
This comes in light of the government’s request for information from Venezuelan authorities regarding claims about criminal elements from Trinidad entering Venezuelan territory. Both men met earlier on Monday to discuss matters of mutual interest and concern.
A statement from the Ministry of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs noted the importance of the longstanding fraternal relationship as neighbouring countries, and said that, in the spirit of constructive dialogue, diplomatic channels would be maintained with a view to ensuring that the exchange of information is fair, transparent, and consistent.
