The United Nations (UN) Special Committee on Decolonization (C-24) unanimously selected Caracas as the venue for the Caribbean Regional Seminar, which will take place from May 14 to 16 of this year.

“This event will bring together international delegations to discuss fundamental issues of the new multipolar world, such as the decolonial struggle and the self-determination of peoples,” said the Minister of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, through his account on the social network X.

The Foreign Minister stressed that “in the last 25 years of the Bolivarian Revolution, Venezuela has been a prominent example of decolonization and despite current aggressions and threats, we continue to defend our sovereignty with determination.”

He concluded by stating that Venezuela is honored to welcome communities from all over the world to exchange experiences and work together for the liberation of all peoples.

The C-24 has been organizing regional seminars alternately in the Caribbean and the Pacific, with the purpose of obtaining the opinions of representatives of Non-Self-Governing Territories, experts in the field, members of civil society, member States and other stakeholders so that they can contribute, together with the Committee, to determining policy approaches promoted by the United Nations.
