Read our privacy policy As the leaders of Guyana and Venezuela prepare to meet this week to address an escalating dispute over a region rich in oil and minerals, Guyana's president said he is coming with “goodwill’ but insisted that his country be respected and the case be heard at the International Court of Justice. President Irfaan Ali spoke to reporters late Sunday, while his security detail wore shirts reading “ESSEQUIBO BELONGS TO GUYANA.” The dispute over Essequibo, which represents two-thirds of Guyana and borders Venezuela, worsened after Venezuela held a referendum earlier this month on whether to claim sovereignty over the region located near massive oil deposits. “We want peace, but we must be respected.” He stressed that Guyana will not negotiate with Venezuela, insisting that the case be heard by the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands as planned. We don’t want any war.” In a video posted Sunday on social media, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said he met with his counterpart in Guyana and noted, “We are always in favor of dialogue between both countries to solve this controversy.” Gil said he also has met with the presidents of CELAC — the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States — and Caricom, a Caribbean trade bloc.
