Dominica's leader demanded peace amid rising tensions between Washington and Caracas during Thursday's United Nations General Assembly session. President Sylvanie Burton warned against military action as American warships patrol Venezuelan waters under anti-drug operations. She emphasized regional stability for Caribbean nations.
Burton condemned recent strikes killing alleged traffickers and called the confrontation an undeclared conflict. Venezuelan officials have requested UN investigations into the maritime incidents. The president urged diplomatic solutions over force.
Small island states face severe consequences when superpowers clash, Burton explained to world leaders. She advocated ending economic restrictions on Venezuela and Cuba. Burton also promoted UN reforms benefiting developing nations.
The remarks reflect CARICOM's commitment to regional peace despite external pressures from global powers.
