Guyana also announces the award of a Technical and Economical Feasibility Study for the Cuyuni Hydroelectric Project to MWH (Montgomery Watson Harza) of Argentina.

Nota del Editor del blog: Al referenciarse a la República Cooperativa de Guyana se deben de tener en cuenta los 159.500 Km2, de territorios ubicados al oeste del río Esequibo conocidos con el nombre de Guayana Esequiba o Zona en Reclamación sujetos al Acuerdo de Ginebra del 17 de febrero de 1966.


Continúan las inversiones en minería de capital Canadiense en la Guayana Esequiba o Zona en Reclamación, sin que el Gobierno de Caracas objete las mismas. O formule “la debida reserva para los efectos a que haya lugar frente a la reclamación”. Rompiendo con la tradicional posición de los gobiernos democráticos de Venezuela a pesar de que la actual administración se jacta de ser nacionalista, y de proteger los sagrados intereses de la patria entre comillas.
