The Minister of People's Power for Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, met this Friday with his counterparts from Barbados, Kerrie Symmonds, and from the Bahamas, Frederick Mitchell, to “analyze the delicate situation in Latin America and the Caribbean in the face of the interventionism of the United States (USA), which has escalated to a military threat to our peoples”.

From Barbados, the Venezuelan diplomat transmitted President Nicolás Maduro's message, “promoting unity and the defense of our sovereignty, reaffirming our status as a Zone of Peace since 2014 and Denuclearization since 1967,” he said in a post on his Telegram channel.

At the meeting with their peers from the two Caribbean countries, they also emphasized the responsibility of the United Nations to demand the cessation of hostilities and respect for the UN Charter.

On his two-day tour of the Caribbean, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister met the day before with the prime ministers of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne; Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves, in their respective countries and accompanied by Deputy Minister Raúl Li Causi, warning about the threats of U.S. military escalation in the region, which threatens peace and security.
