At the Ministerial Meeting of the Group of 77+China during the 16th United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD16) in Geneva, Switzerland, the Minister of People's Power for Foreign Trade, Coromoto Godoy, denounced the interference and military deployment of the United States in the Caribbean Sea, against the sovereignty and peace of Venezuela.

In his speech, he said that “we call for solidarity and condemn this aggression, which constitutes a clear violation of human rights, of the declaration of Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace, of the Treaty of Tlatelolco and of the principles that govern the Charter of the United Nations, in particular the prohibition of the use of force or its threat against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State. Until when!”

He also indicated that since 2014, more than a thousand unilateral coercive measures have been imposed by the United States, which have impacted strategic sectors of the national economy, in particular the oil industry.

“Despite these restrictions, Venezuela has accumulated 18 consecutive quarters of economic growth, leads South American performance with 7.71 percent in the first half of 2025 and currently produces 90 percent of the food it consumes,” he said.

Godoy stressed that, in order to consolidate the process of economic recovery, it is necessary to redouble the efforts of the Global South to achieve the cessation of extortion measures affecting the multilateral trading system, such as the blockade, unilateral coercive actions and the tariff war.

“We reiterate our commitment to the unity of the G77 and China, in defense of fair trade, South-South cooperation, the principles of multilateralism, sovereignty and equality between States,” he said.

He also reaffirmed that Venezuela, with resilience and a vocation for peace, is actively working to build a multicentric and multipolar world, evoking the ideal of “balance of the universe” formulated by El Libertador Simón Bolívar 200 years ago.

The meeting was also attended by the Deputy Minister of Anti-Blockade Policies, William Castillo; the Deputy Minister of International Trade Policy, Johann Álvarez, and the Permanent Representative to UN-Geneva, Ambassador Alexander Yánez.
