Georgetown : President Donald Ramotar along with His Excellency President Correa of Ecuador attended the swearing-in ceremony of His Excellency Nicolas Maduro at the National Assembly on Friday evening. 

In his speech, President Maduro said: “Something really significant, we want to highlight, is the presence in this room of an extraordinary man of the Caribbean, and from a country with which others wanted us to establish a feeling of hatred between our people and their people”. President Maduro went on to say that Commander Chavez completely changed the foreign policy of Venezuela, “which now resolves our outstanding issues based on brotherhood and not hatred and war, which was the wish of the oligarchies and the imperialists.
