Dominica’s PM Calls Unity in the Region in Solidarity With Venezuela

Addressing the 25th virtual ALBA-TCP summit on Sunday, Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit pledged “complete solidarity” with Venezuela and warned that the Caribbean faces “challenges without precedent to our peace, security and social cohesion” as foreign warships intensify operations in regional waters.

“We have always cooperated with the United States—and others—to fight trans-national crime, yet the same region that extends that hand is now seeing its security undermined,” Skerrit said, alluding to recent incidents in the Caribbean Sea that have rattled coastal states.

Calling the gathering “a test history is watching,” he urged ALBA members to demonstrate “friendship and solidarity” rather than hostility.

“We are not here to declare war on anyone; that is not who we are. We are here to defend diplomacy, dialogue and the peaceful path Venezuela has chosen,” he added, congratulating President Nicolás Maduro for rejecting provocations.

In response, Maduro thanked Skerrit and outlined joint next steps: expanding the ALBA fishing fleet to export-quality standards, scaling up Agro-ALBA food-production plans and launching new people-to-people tourism routes that bind Dominica and Venezuela even closer.
