Guyana–Venezuela relations Guyana–Venezuela relations Guyana – Venezuela relations include diplomatic, economic and other interactions between the neighboring countries of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

The disputed area is called Guayana Esequiba by Venezuela.
