The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert Ramdin, Tuesday called on Venezuela and the United States to use other means than warfare as means of settling their differences, insisting that the hemisphere must remain a zone of peace.
‘I hope that both countries, Venezuela and the United States .restrain themselves and make sure whatever other path can be found diplomatically, negotiations to solve their problems at a different level that should be.a priority.
‘We don’t want any war in our hemisphere. Peace in the end is what everybody in this hemisphere wants. Nobody gains from a war. So I think if we can achieve that and maintain at the same time this unity going forward on that consensus based agenda we possibly will end up after five or 10 years in a better environment.and prosperity in the Americas.
‘That is all the people of the Americas want, in every single country,’ Ramdin said during a wide ranging ‘Dialogue for the Americas: Conversation with OAS Secretary General,’ interview with the Trinidad-based journalist, Wesley Gibbings.
