aracas, Jul 19 (Prensa Latina) Aggravation of the territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana answers to the interest of the United States in stopping the changes carried out in Latin America and the Caribbean, after the Bolivarian Government assumed power in 1999.

Then, it was published that Guyana appeared in a program called Initiative for energy management and training.
