See full statement from President Dr Irfaan Ali:
The defence of Guyana is a patriotic responsibility, not an option for patriots, a convenience, or political tool.
It is a duty, a national honour, and the highest level of dignity for any citizen.
Venezuela’s parade of arrogance and consistent disregard for international law has no place in a democracy or a peaceful region.
Make no mistake, the government and people of Guyana, along with our unshakable international partners, will do everything to ensure the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country remain intact.
To our Venezuelan neighbours residing here, we expect you to follow the rule of law of our country and not be part of Venezuela’s rogue behaviour. Failure to do so will have legal consequences.
To Guyanese living on our border locations and every other citizen, fly the golden arrowhead high in celebration of our heritage in this 83,000-square-miles that belongs to all of us.
