No report from Venezuela on invasion

The Venezuelan mission in Guyana has not received the expected report from authorities in that country on the invasion of Guyana's territory and the destruction of two mining dredges by the Venezuelan military, nor has there been a response to Guyana's diplomatic note from the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry.

Venezuela's ambassador to Guyana Dario Morandy had said on Friday that he was expecting a report on the issue the following day. When this newspaper sought a comment from him yesterday with regard to this report, he said through his secretary that the mission had received no further information since this newspaper spoke with him on Friday.

Contacted, Guyana's Ambassador to Venezuela Dr Odeen Ishmael told this newspaper that the mission in Caracas was using its limited resources to get hold of Guyanese living along the border area in Venezuela to find out what they knew of the incident.
