Grenada in support of Venezuela
Grenada has assured Venezuela that it will stand behind the country “no matter what”.
Foreign Affairs Minister Elvin Nimrod, addressing the 40th anniversary of bilateral relations between the two countries last weekend, said Grenada also understands the situation confronting the Spanish-speaking country.
“Grenada stands behind you in solidarity no matter what…We understand the present challenge and we want to tell you that we believe your cause is right and just and we will stand behind you no matter what,” he told the ceremony whose guest of honour was Venezuela’s Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez, who thanked Grenada for its years of friendship.
Nimrod said that Venezuela has contributed to the country’s development since relationship was established by Eric Gairy administration in 1977.
Last Friday, Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, called on Venezuela to halt the use of violence and other tools of repression against opposition demonstrators who are protesting defense for the rule of law in the country.
The OAS said that one demonstrator was killed and several others wounded and detained as they clamour for fresh elections in the country.
