The dispute dates back to the nineteenth century, when Venezuela signed a treaty with Britain which it began to call in question officially in the 1960s. More recently, the Venezuelan government has pressed its case with increasing force since Guyana conceded prospecting rights in the region to several foreign oil companies. Guyana regards such complaints as an attempt to limit its independence, and as a hangover from colonial times. More recently, relations have improved, and there has been talk of constructing a coastal highway to improve connections between the two countries.* * *adv essentially, in essence
