PSC Condemns Venezuelan Naval Incursion, Calls for Respect of Guyana’s Sovereignty and International Law

The Private Sector Commission (PSC) of Guyana strongly condemns the incursion of a Venezuelan naval vessel into Guyana’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), where it approached multiple Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) platforms, including FPSO Prosperity. This unwarranted aggression directly violates Guyana’s sovereignty and international law, threatening regional peace and stability.

The PSC stands in solidarity with the Government and people of Guyana and fully supports the measures taken to engage international partners, including the United Nations, the Organization of American States (OAS), CARICOM, and the International Court of Justice (ICJ), to ensure that Guyana’s territorial integrity remains protected.

The PSC expresses its gratitude to the international community for standing firmly with Guyana and for their commitment to upholding international law and regional security. Maintaining this area as a zone of peace, as emphasized in the Argyle Agreement, remains of utmost importance to ensuring stability and economic prosperity for all.

We remain resolute in our advocacy for peace, stability, and the rule of law, and we urge all stakeholders to work towards a diplomatic resolution that respects Guyana’s sovereignty and international legal frameworks.
