Venezuela Calls for Diplomacy in Dispute with Guyana

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro called for dialogue and diplomacy in resolving the country's long-standing territorial dispute with neighboring Guyana. The dispute resurfaced earlier this week with a declaration by Guyana accusing Venezuela of seeking to illegally annex part of its territorial waters. The recently elected Guyana government granted ExxonMobile oil exploration rights in the disputed maritime area and the company reported that it has discovered major oil reserves in the coastal waters. teleSUR
