Former Colombian President Iván Duque has voiced his confidence in Guyana’s ability to prevail in the border controversy case currently before the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
In an interview with Newsweek, Duque expressed his belief that Guyana will succeed in the border controversy case at the ICJ.
He commended Guyana for presenting a legitimate defense of its sovereignty and interests, asserting that the matter will be resolved at the highest court.
Duque further commented on the geopolitical implications, stating that Venezuelan President Maduro is aware that the international community will respond strongly if he attempts to use force against Guyana.
He emphasized that Maduro lacks the capability to invade and sustain an invasion into Guyana, warning that such actions would expedite the downfall of his regime.
Additionally, Duque praised Guyana’s leadership in environmental conservation and highlighted President Ali’s development agenda, which aims to provide long-awaited social solutions to the people of Guyana.
Encouraging other countries to partner with Guyana, Duque emphasized the nation’s potential to become a global leader in food, climate, and energy security.
His remarks underscore the international support and confidence in Guyana’s position in the border controversy case and its broader leadership role in various global issues.
