In a statement issued following the meeting, CARICOM confirmed that it is closely monitoring the evolving situation, describing it as a matter of grave concern for the Region. The Community noted that any escalation in Venezuela has the potential to affect neighbouring countries, particularly those within close geographic proximity.
CARICOM has committed to keeping the people of the Region informed as events unfold and as further details are received. No specific measures or responses have been announced at this time.
