In a diplomatic effort to address the ongoing territorial dispute with Guyana, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro held phone discussions with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves.

The talks resulted in Caracas agreeing to a meeting with Georgetown over the disputed territory, according to a statement released by the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry on Saturday.

"In these conversations, a proposal was received to hold a high-level meeting with the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, which will be announced in the coming days, with the purpose of preserving our aspiration to maintain Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace, without interference from external actors, in accordance with the agreements reached by both countries within the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC)," Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said in a post on X.
