Young meets with Delcy Rodriguez in Venezuela

Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment for Port of Spain North/St Ann’s West, Stu­art Young, has met with Act­ing Venezue­lan Pres­i­dent Del­cy Ro­dríguez.

Young post­ed an im­age on his so­cial me­dia pages a short while ago, show­ing him shak­ing hands with Ro­dríguez at the Mi­raflo­res Palace in Venezuela.

He cap­tioned the pho­to, “It was a plea­sure meet­ing with Her Ex­cel­len­cy, Del­cy Ro­dríguez, Pres­i­den­ta En­car­ga­da, of the Bo­li­var­i­an Re­pub­lic of Venezuela, ear­li­er this week. #per­son­agra­ta”

The meet­ing comes one week af­ter Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar an­nounced that a diplo­mat­ic del­e­ga­tion would vis­it Venezuela soon to “en­sure we get our just share” of cross-bor­der oil and gas re­sources.

Guardian Me­dia reached out to the Prime Min­is­ter on this de­vel­op­ment and she replied, “good luck with that Stu­ar­ty.”

In Oc­to­ber last year, Venezuela’s Na­tion­al As­sem­bly de­clared Per­sad-Bisses­sar “per­sona non gra­ta,” as it ac­cused her gov­ern­ment of sup­port­ing Unit­ed States mil­i­tary ag­gres­sion against the Bo­li­var­i­an Re­pub­lic.

How­ev­er, PM Per­sad-Bisses­sar dis­missed then-Venezue­lan Pres­i­dent Nicolás Maduro’s com­ments as mean­ing­less.
