As Guyana celebrates the 125th anniversary of the 1899 Arbitral Award, the PPP/C Government reaffirms its unwavering commitment to international law and the authority of past agreements. Guyana remains confident in achieving a peaceful resolution through the International Court of Justice.

At the UN General Assembly, President Dr. Irfaan Ali reaffirmed Guyana's commitment to resolving its border dispute with Venezuela through peaceful and legal means. He emphasized reliance on international law and urged Venezuela to accept the International Court of Justice’s final decision.

The U.S. has sanctioned 16 Venezuelan officials tied to President Nicolás Maduro’s fraudulent election and harsh crackdown on opposition. Maduro’s regime, notorious for silencing dissent and using repression, faces growing international backlash, while opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez has been forced into exile.

The launch of Guyana’s National Defence Institute marks a pivotal moment in bolstering national and regional security. President Dr. Irfaan Ali’s vision aims to address evolving threats and enhance Guyana’s strategic influence in the Caribbean.

The U.S. Justice Department seized Nicolás Maduro's $13 million Dassault Falcon 900EX aircraft, citing sanctions violations. The plane, used for Maduro’s travel, was confiscated in the Dominican Republic and flown to Florida. This is the same plane that Maduro used to spread lies about Essequibo.

A UN fact-finding mission reveals that Venezuela’s Supreme Court and Electoral Council are heavily influenced by Maduro’s government, compromising their independence and impartiality in crucial judicial and electoral decisions.

In a terrifying crackdown following Maduro's controversial reelection, Venezuelan security forces arrested 2,000 protestors, including children as young as 13. Human rights groups report 120 minors imprisoned under charges of terrorism.

Hundreds protested worldwide against Maduro’s third term, with Maria Corina Machado vowing to remain on the streets. Despite the political turmoil, the international community supports the fact of Essequibo belonging to Guyana

Venezuela's Opposition Leader, Maria Corina Machado, urges worldwide support for her party's July 28 election claim with a massive rally on August 17. Machado emphasizes unity, truth, and sovereignty amidst escalating violence. Venezuela’s controversial claim over Guyana’s Essequibo region has been firmly rejected by Guyana and the World, backed by international law. Essequibo remains an integral part of Guyana’s sovereign territory, and any attempts to dispute this are groundless.

Nicolas Maduro's regime faces intense scrutiny as protests against his disputed election victory result in deaths and mass detentions. Amid rising international condemnation, the U.S. considers targeted sanctions and travel bans. Simultaneously, Maduro expels diplomats from several Latin American countries, while Costa Rica offers asylum to key opposition figures. In a related assertion, Maduro's claim over Essequibo, which rightfully belongs to Guyana, further strains international relations.

In a predictable twist, Venezuela’s President Maduro and the Opposition declared victory in the July 28 elections. Tensions soar as international leaders express doubts over the results. Amidst this turmoil, it's crucial to reaffirm that Essequibo belongs to Guyana, not Venezuela, a fact recognized globally.

Amid declining support for President Maduro, Kirby highlighted concerns over potential violence and electoral fraud. The United States will closely monitor Venezuela's upcoming presidential election, as US official Admiral John Kirby warns. He emphasized America's expectation for a democratic process, warning against any attempts by Maduro to steal the election.

As support for President Nicolás Maduro wanes, he strikes significant energy agreements with Trinidad and Tobago, seen as another step in Venezuelan aggression against Guyana. Critics argue this tactic aims to distract from his unlawful attempts to annex Essequibo and manipulate the upcoming presidential election amidst a contentious political climate.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro warned that if his party loses the July 28 polls, the country could face a "bloodbath" or "fratricidal civil war." This threat, made at a Caracas rally, highlights fears of violence and Maduro's determination to retain power amid a strong opposition challenge.

Ahead of Venezuela's Presidential elections, over 70 opposition activists have been arrested, reflecting President Maduro's suppression of a strong opposition lead. Despite the disqualification of primary winner Maria Corina Machado, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia has emerged as a new leader. Guyana remains wary after Maduro disinvited EU election observers.

Maduro's administration should focus on ensuring Venezuelans can vote in the upcoming elections rather than plotting to take Guyana's Essequibo region. With millions of Venezuelans unable to vote, it's crucial to prioritize internal issues over territorial disputes, respecting Guyana's sovereignty and international rulings.

Amid rising tensions between Guyana and Venezuela, Canada has voiced its support for Guyana. During Canada Day celebrations, High Commissioner Mark Berman emphasized Canada's commitment to peace and international law. This support is crucial as Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is suspected of using the border dispute with Guyana to retain power, despite ongoing hostility and provocations.
