Venezuela, is getting set for a national referendum vote on the next steps in its moves to possess the Essequibo region on its border with Guyana.

He said, he may understand why the Prime Minister has not said much on the situation.

He said, Caribbean leaders must stand in unity at the side of Guyana and the Guyanese people, and he calls on Venezuela to rethink these referendum calls, which may be used as a declaration of war.

Caricom has taken a position on the matter and condemned the planned action by Venezuela.
