All such acts of aggression and provocation are contrary to international law and the 2023 Argyle Declaration”
Earlier today, 1 March 2025, CARICOM was informed by the President of Guyana, H.E. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, of the interaction of Venezuela’s military vessels with one of the Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) platforms in Guyana’s maritime territory.
All such acts of aggression and provocation are contrary to international law and the 2023 Argyle Declaration.
Expressly too Guyana and Venezuela are enjoined to avoid unnecessary confrontational actions.
This provocative incident of 1 March 2025 initiated by Venezuela runs counter to the agreed commitment of CARICOM and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) to ensure that the Caribbean region remains a Zone of Peace. It is critical that there be a peaceful resolution of the border controversy as is expected under the International Court of Justice, which already has conduct over the dispute.
Against this backdrop, CARICOM calls on Venezuela to order the urgent removal of the vessel from Guyana’s waters and further, to refrain from engaging with the FPSO platforms, as has been reported.
What is required now, more than ever, is patience, calm and non-provocation, on both sides. As was contemplated in the Argyle Declaration, a resolution of this controversy, remains entirely possible without any acts of provocation or aggression.
CARICOM reiterates its well known position which is unequivocal and unwavering support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Guyana.

Caricom standing with Guyana is important, but will there be real action? 🤔
This situation is dangerous. Hope diplomacy prevails before it escalates.
Venezuela keeps testing boundaries. Time for stronger regional defense cooperation!
what’s the next step? Guyana can’t just rely on words.
Respect to Caricom for addressing this, but how much influence do they really have?
Hope Caricom leaders are ready to back Guyana beyond just issuing statements.
Venezuela have one of the biggest militarys South of the Caribbean, so how Guyana supposed to defend itself against such a bully?
Huuumm. As much as y’all hate the US, I bet they will have to intervene in this one, because the Caribbean at large is no match for Venezuela in any fight.
