Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential implications of recent political developments in Venezuela for Guyana's territorial integrity; and what steps her Department is taking to support Guyana's sovereignty.

The UK supports Guyana's sovereignty and territorial integrity. We consider the boundary between Guyana and Venezuela to have been settled by the 1899 Arbitral Award and support the ongoing process before the International Court of Justice. We work closely with international partners and continue to support efforts to promote peace, stability and respect for international law.
