Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has reiterated Dominica’s support to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Mr Skerrit reiterated that commitment in his address at the XIII Summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Agreement (Alba-TCP) in Cuba  which was held yesterday, Sunday 14 December 2014.

“Dominica stands in total and absolute solidarity with the government and people of Venezuela,” Mr Skerrit said.

“You can count on us at any time to stand with you in the defence of your independence, in defence of your sovereignty, in defence of the progressive results that you have made since the start of the Bolivarian Revolution under President Hugo Chavez,” he continued.

The Prime Minister noted that an attack on Venezuela “is an attack on Dominica, an attack on the Caribbean”.
