Caricom and the UN have expressed their willingness to offer their good offices to facilitate a dialogue between the parties involved to find a solution.
A delegation from several countries of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) went to the United Nations (UN) on Monday to discuss the political situation in Venezuela.
Led by the Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Timothy Harris, the delegation met with the Secretary General of the UN, António Guterres, to discuss the implications for the region of what is happening in the South American country, after the autojuration illegal of the opposition deputy Juan Guaidó.

The Caricom declared itself “against interference and foreign intervention in the internal affairs of the States and fought for respect for sovereignty, the rule of law, human rights and democracy.”
According to Guterres, both Caricom and the UN expressed their willingness to offer their good offices to “facilitate a dialogue between the parties in search of a negotiated solution” to the situation.
