Members of the Brazilian government who will participate in the meeting between Venezuela and Guyana this Thursday (14) to discuss the situation in Essequibo will state that South America is a region of “peace and cooperation” and that Brazil rejects the use of force or unilateral actions in conflicts.
The Brazilian delegation is led by ambassador Celso Amorim, special advisor to the Presidency for international affairs. The diplomats have already landed in Saint Vincent and the Grenadine, the venue for the meeting between presidents Nicolás Maduro and Irfaan Ali.
Among the messages that the Brazilian group will take to the negotiating table are that South America has a tradition of dialogue to resolve differences. Brazil will also defend the peaceful resolution of disputes, aggravated after a referendum, conducted by the Maduro government, which approved the annexation of Essequibo, claimed by Venezuelans since the 19th century, but belonging to Guyana since the independence of the former British colony, in 20th century.
Brazil-Venezuela relationship
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) told allies heard by the CNN who is increasingly disappointed with the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and has signaled that he may break politically with the leader of the neighboring country if the invasion of the Guyanese region of Essequibo is confirmed.
Lula, who received Maduro in Brasília in May this year, would be “less skeptical” than Itamaraty about the possibility of a war in the region and regretted that Maduro had “exploded” the Brazilian effort to normalize next year’s elections in Venezuela and thus bring the country out of isolation, according to sources close to the president.

Maduro and Lula even spoke by phone last week. As determined by CNN the Brazilian president told the Venezuelan that his attitudes in the crisis with Guyana could give foreign powers such as the United States a pretext to send troops to the region.
Mayors of cities in Roraima, located on Brazil’s border with Venezuela and Guyana, monitor the tension between neighboring countries and report their apprehension about the possibility of a conflict in South America.
The significant movement of armored vehicles and military personnel is recorded in the municipality of Pacaraima, a city north of Roraima, which is on the border with Venezuela. The Army is also positioned at strategic points in Uiramutã, another city next to the neighboring country.
