Venezuela

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent assessment he has made of (a) relations between Venezuela and Jamaica and (b) the implications of those relations for (i) UK-Venezuela relations, (ii) UK-Jamaican relations and (iii) the wider region.
Answer

We understand that relations between Venezuela and Jamaica are good and have recently been enhanced by an agreement signed between them under the ““PetroCaribe Agreement””. We do not believe that this relationship has made any significant difference to the good relations we have with Jamaica or Venezuela, or to relations within the Caribbean.
