Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who has been declared ‘persona non grata’ by the Venezuelan National Assembly in October last year, says she is ‘deeply touched’ to have receive a letter from Acting President Delcy Rodríguez.
In a statement posted on her social media page X, Persad-Bissessar, whom Caracas had accused of supporting United States military aggression against the Bolivarian Republic, said that the letter expressed ‘the gratitude of the Government and people of Venezuela for Trinidad and Tobago’s support following the devastating earthquakes of June 24.
‘In my response, I reaffirmed our unwavering commitment to stand with the people of Venezuela during this difficult time.
