The Minister of Popular
Power for Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, on behalf of President
Nicolás Maduro and the People of Venezuela, thanked the Russian
State Duma on Tuesday for its strong call to the international community, to the
parliaments and to the system of the United Nations (UN) to
condemn the increase in the military presence of the United States (USA) in the
Caribbean Sea.
In addition,
through his Telegram channel, Foreign Minister Gil also praised the Russian
parliament's condemnation of “threats directed against Venezuela and attacks on
boats, which have been classified as extrajudicial executions by UN experts.”
In this regard,
he stressed that “Venezuela deeply values Russia's firm solidarity in the
defense of our sovereignty.”
During this
day, the State Duma unanimously approved an appeal to the parliaments
of UN member states and
international parliamentary organizations regarding the escalation of tensions in the Caribbean Sea,
near the borders of Venezuela.
“
We address our colleagues from different countries with a single message:
let us try, for our part, to make the world a fairer place,” said
the president of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, during the consideration
of the appeal, in which he stressed that we cannot return to the
colonial practices of the past, something that “certain countries and their politicians want”.
The document
notes that “Washington's aggressive and provocative actions against a sovereign
State contradict generally recognized principles and norms
of international law enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and in Article 88 of
the United Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea, and also lead to a dangerous increase in tensions in the
Latin American and Caribbean region.”
