Venezuelan President echoes PM’s words of affection as the two leaders hug and make up after months of strained relations; Kamla no longer persona no grata in Caracas

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is no longer persona non grata in Venezuela, with Caracas now declaring her “persona grata” following a meeting with acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez in New York yesterday.

The meeting, held at Venezuela’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, signalled a major thaw in relations between the two countries.

In a joint statement issued after the talks, the leaders described their discussions as “the beginning of a new era in bilateral relations.”

They reaffirmed the historic ties between Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago and agreed to deepen cooperation in areas including trade, energy, security, disaster risk management, environmental protection, agriculture, tourism, air connectivity and culture.

Browne welcomes thaw but issues caution

Former Foreign and Caricom Affairs minister Dr Amery Browne welcomed the lifting of the persona non grata designation, describing it as a return to the good-neighbor relations that previously existed between the two countries. “We in the PNM always wish the best for Trinidad and Tobago,” Browne said.

He noted that the Opposition had called a week earlier for the designation against Persad-Bissessar to be removed and said any positive progress in relations with Venezuela should be welcomed.

However, Browne criticised the Government’s earlier approach to Venezuela, arguing that the deterioration in relations could not simply be forgotten.
