The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela ratified its commitment to fulfill the United Nations 2030 Agenda, despite the economic blockade and the systematic attack of the United States Government, the Deputy Minister for Multilateral Issues of the Ministry of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs, Rubén Darío Molina, highlighted this Wednesday during the First Biennial Summit for a Sustainable, Inclusive and Resilient Economy: Implementation of the Commitments on Financing for Development, which takes place in New York, on the occasion of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.

“We reaffirm our commitment to the 2030 Agenda, to financing for development and to the unity of the Global South. Only through solidarity, cooperation and renewed multilateralism can we build a sustainable, inclusive and resilient world economy,” the diplomat urged.

Molina also strongly condemned attempts to undermine the multilateral trading system, based on trade wars and the illegal application of unilateral coercive measures, which affect daily life and undermine the right to development of more than two-thirds of humanity.

“Despite these aggressions, Venezuela is currently accumulating 16 quarters of economic growth with its own efforts, proof of the capacity of our people. But we insist: as long as hegemonic and exclusionary practices persist in financial institutions, such as those of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which deny us access to our own Special Drawing Rights, the South will continue to be burdened with a crisis that it did not cause,” emphasized the Deputy Minister for Multilateral Affairs.

The Venezuelan spokesman pointed out to the multilateral organization that it is essential to guarantee new financing conditions for development, including the profound and structural reform of the international financial architecture, as well as the fulfillment of the historical responsibility of developed countries.
