The Foreign Affairs Minister has been misquoted
DEAR EDITOR,
I have read your editorial of (29-10-08) today in conjunction with the letter from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Guyana, which appeared in the SN on October 24, 2008.
I wish to state that I have read and re-read her letter. Unless a different letter was sent to you (and that may be a possibility) than the one in the SN, you have misquoted the Minister. Nowhere in her letter does the Minister state that the “…river was given to Guyana”.
What the Minister said was that the Governor’s Agreement did not include the river as exclusively forming part of the territory of either Guyana or Suriname and for that the international jurisprudence offers some guidance.
She based that position on the rivers that divide Guyana and Venezuela and Guyana and Brazil where in each instances both States were given rights of access. Could Peeping Tom and Analyst say what is unreasonable about that?
