Venezuela's aggression has been stymieing investments in Guyana and preventing the development of the full potential of our people and resources for the last 50 years.
• In 1897 in Washington DC Venezuela and British Guiana signed a Treaty agreeing to settle the boundary by international arbitration.
• The Judges issued their verdict in Paris in 1899 fixing the boundary where it is today and Venezuela accepted.
• Since 1966 Venezuela has illegally occupied the island of Ankoko in the Cuyuni River.
