A dispute implies that both sides have a valid point in an argument.
Venezuela just want Guyana territory and rightfully Guyana doesn’t want to lose it.

MODERATORS
There is a longer history of dispute over this territory. Every time it has come up or been put forward for international determination, Guyana wins. However, I think that the added context does provide valuable background.
Maybe I can save everyone time and state the outcome of the next meeting: "no".
It goes back further, to when the Dutch gave the territory to the British, and the British decided the territory given to them by the Dutch was bigger than it actually was.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Instead, a joint commission composed of the foreign ministers of both countries and other officials will address the problem, with a report expected within three months.
Earlier in the day, Guyana’s government issued a statement saying that Essequibo “is not up for discussion, negotiation or deliberation.” Ali echoed those comments during a news conference he held during a break in his talks with Maduro.
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said that Biden administration officials were closely monitoring the rising tensions.
Ali and Maduro first met individually with prime ministers and other officials from the region who had pushed for the meeting to try and defuse the situation.
Ali rejected in a letter to Gonsalves on Tuesday what he said was Maduro’s description of the “meddling of the United States Southern Command, which has begun operations in the disputed territory.”
“Any allegation that a military operation aimed at Venezuela exists in any part of Guyanese territory is false, misleading and provocative,” Ali said in the letter.
The original article contains 711 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Bring back Gran Colombia I guess.
Guyana wasn't part of it
I can't wait until the US gets involved to help defend Guyana and just so happens to set up US companies to be the ones drilling the old and mining the minerals, so Guyana gets basically nothing either way.
