Venezuela is proposing the construction of a gas pipeline to run though Guyana to Suriname as a contribution towards ending existing differences and to guarantee the supply of gas to the two countries. Morandy Venezuelas ambassador to Guyana, made the announcement in the presence of Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, who was performing the duties of president, along with several leading local politicians and Venezuelan diplomats, during the 197th anniversary celebrations of his countrys independence recently.
Guyanas Prime Minister welcomed the announcement but said a feasibility study would have to be conducted. He noted that the pipeline, when constructed, would mean that Guyana will have a cheaper source of gas.
