Brazil urged dialogue and adherence to the Argyle Declaration for peaceful resolution. The UK insists the warship's visit is routine, focusing on training exercises with Guyana's military, while Venezuela sees it as a threat.

Tensions Rise as Guyana and Venezuela Clash Over Disputed Territory

Guyana's President Irfaan Ali has stated that his country is taking necessary measures to protect itself from Venezuela, which has ordered its state-owned companies to explore and exploit oil and minerals in Guyana's disputed Essequibo region. President Ali has reached out to allies and regional partners for support and is preparing a regional response. Venezuela's actions are seen as a defiance of international law and can disrupt regional stability. Guyana plans to raise the issue at the U.N. Security Council and accuses Venezuela of defying a recent ruling by the International Court of Justice. The dispute over the Essequibo region has intensified since ExxonMobil discovered oil off Guyana's coast in 2015.
