Barbadians living in Venezuela are safe, assures Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley.

Speaking at a press conference at Ilaro Court this evening, Mottley said conversations with Barbados Ambassador to Venezuela Aquinas Clarke early in the morning, reported there were no injuries to any Barbadians living in that country.

Her comments came in the wake of the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife  early this morning.

Mottley also said she was in conversation with Clarke some months ago, telling reporters that fortunately, the Ambassador has military training.

The Prime Minister said this situation would remain fluid, noting, however, that barring no new developments, it is hoped that “we can get back to some level of stability”. (CM)
