Tomorrow, two South American leaders coming face to face amid a growing territorial dispute. The meeting coming after weeks of threats from Venezuela's Nicola's Maduro, seeking to annex more than half of the country of Guyana. Guyana will participate. Guyana's President agreeing to the bilateral meeting, but emphasizing Guyana's boundary is not up for discussion. We are entering into the talks with goodwill. We're entering those talks wanting peace. We want peace. We're not aggressors here. What conversation or agreement can we expect when these two leaders meet?

I think it's going to be very complicated because the Chinese leader, Ishan Ali, has said that territorial sovereignty is not on the table. I would not anticipate anything concrete coming out of their discussions other than statement of positions and restatement of positions.

It's a century-old dispute over an oil-rich territory known as the Eskimo region, a stretch of land that in 1840s, an international tribunal of arbitration decided it belonged to Gallana. But Venezuela has always disputed that decision, and following the discovery of oil reserves off the region's Coast, its leader, Nicolaz Maduro, holding a referendum vote with a majority who voted approving to claim ownership over the Azequivo. On Monday, Maduro hailing the quote, great achievement of securing talks with Guyana on his weekly show on State TV. The meeting is set to take place in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and is expected to also include the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, whose nation also shares a border with both countries. Guyana now betting on support from the international community, a National Security Council spokesperson telling BBC News, The United States supports a peaceful solution of the border dispute between Venezuela and Guyana and reaffirms the United States' unwavering support for Guyana's sovereignty.

I would anticipate that most of the effort that's going on right now is to try to reduce tensions and then channel this aggression from Venezuela back into appropriate organizations like the International Court of Justice or the OAS.

And the involvement of the Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines where the meeting will take place is essential because of his close relationship to both Venezuela and Guyana, which gives hope that they will find a peaceful resolution.
