The Venezuelan administration proposed a "high-level" meeting with Guyana on Saturday to discuss the rising tensions as the territorial dispute over Essequibo has resurfaced.

According to the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro made the offer during phone discussions with regional officials, including Brazilian President Luiz Inacio da Silva.

The message did not explicitly specify that Guyana had consented to the discussions, but it did suggest that a date for the meeting would be announced in the coming days.

The Venezuelan President also strives to activate the social care plan for the residents of Guayana Esequiba, conduct a population census, and issue identity cards. This point involves establishing an administrative service office for identity, migration, and foreign affairs in Tumeremo.

Lastly comes the approval of a special law defining the areas of environmental protection and new national parks in Guayana Esequiba.

This follows the approval by Venezuelans of a referendum initiated by the Maduro government to assert sovereignty over a resource-rich area in Guyana, as declared by the country's electoral authority.
