Caracas, October 15 (teleSUR-RHC)-- Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced Wednesday the U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will outline in November a diplomatic road-map to solve the border dispute with Guyana over the Essequibo territory.

“We have agreed that in November the (U.N. Technical) Commission (for the Essequibo dispute) will take part in a second round of talks,” Maduro said. 

In a meeting with the commission, Maduro said the Geneva Agreement successfully revived the issue of Essequibo, “for what I believe is an agreement that marks the first solid steps to be accepted by both parties.”

Maduro added he outlined the basis for the Venezuelan claim to Essequibo.  He insisted also on the fraudulent and illegal ruling by Paris and Washington, and the complaint process between 1869 until 1966 that stripped Essequibo from Venezuelan territory.

The head of state reported that positive steps have already been taken, listing the Geneva Agreement and the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between both nations with ambassadors en each others capitals.

In the meeting with the U.N. delegation, Maduro repeated that his government will make its sovereign demands through diplomacy and peace, insisting that the November meeting will design a new path to a pacific solution. He also thanked Ban for his willingness to jointly resolve the matter.

The commission arrived in Venezuela on Wednesday headed by the U.N. Chief of Cabinet to the Executive Office Susana Malcorra.
