The Minister of People's Power for Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, received in his office this Tuesday the ambassador of the People's Republic of China accredited to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Lan Hu, to reaffirm ties of friendship and strategic cooperation between the two countries.

“During our conversation, we reaffirmed the importance of working to safeguard international law, which is fundamental to guarantee a world of peace and justice, where sovereignty is respected and the free economic and political development of peoples is promoted,” said the Venezuelan Foreign Minister through his social networks.

Both diplomats ratified the strong brotherhood and mutual support between Caracas and Beijing, “within the framework of the 'Strategic Partnership for All Time and Trial', consolidated in 2023.”

Faced with the recent military aggression of the United States (USA) against Venezuela, which resulted in the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, China has raised its voice in a forceful way to reject what it described as a violation of international law, in addition to demanding the immediate release of the presidential couple.
