No plans for ‘offensive action’ against Venezuela with British ship en route to Guyana – Jagdeo

On Wednesday, Vincentian Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves said he spoke to both President Ali and Maduro about the vessel and told Venezuela, on behalf of Guyana, that the exercises planned are “not threatening exercises.”

He also spoke about the use of the vessel.

“This is a vessel which comes into the region. It comes here (in St. Vincent and the Grenadines) sometimes too, dealing with helping to interdict drugs, dealing with trafficking in persons (and) search and rescue. It has very limited, as I understand it, military capacity,” Gonsalves said during a radio programme.
