The Minister of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Yván Gil, began preparations this Wednesday to form the Articulating Council of Social Movements and Communes of the Simon Bolivar Institute for Peace and Solidarity between Peoples, which, through the synergy between foreign and domestic policies of the country, will generate and execute actions that allow the most urgent needs to be addressed and resolved of the population, such as the sovereign defense of Guiana Essequiba.

From the Antonio José de Sucre room of the Yellow House in Caracas, the diplomat reported that the creation of the council is part of the Plan of the Seven Transformations (7T), specifically in the seventh line on Geopolitics and World Leadership.

“Geopolitics is not only external, geopolitics is also internal, of how we organize ourselves, how we work, how we pay taxes, how we relate precisely to those development plans, to the great transformations that we have ahead of us this year, such as constitutional reform,” he explained, stressing that relations with the outside world always have an impact on the interior and vice versa, so the foreign ministry cannot be disconnected from the people.

“We have to have a link between State actions, between State institutions and social movements... We have the responsibility to articulate our action and our revolutionary creation together,” he said, referring to the importance and impact that the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela has had in the world, as a reference for struggle and resistance.

The president of the Simon Bolivar Institute, Blanca Eekhout, announced that the Simon Bolivar Committees will also be created at the national level to, through the Bolivarian Doctrine, create an agenda of action that articulates the country's foreign and domestic policies that together represent the diplomacy of peoples.

“Our entire policy of solidarity, of this vision of diplomacy of the peoples of the Simon Bolivar Institute -which is part of our foreign ministry-, the foreign policy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, is seen absolutely from the perspective of the father of the country Simón Bolívar, of the gigantic and titanic effort to build a new world of our commander Hugo Chávez and of our president Nicolás Maduro to guarantee the diplomacy of the peoples”, highlighted the also deputy.

He pointed out that in the current geopolitical context, it is of vital importance to build a “space for encounter between peoples because we are permanently attacked by brutal imperialism that tries to isolate us, that tries to block us, but above all that does not want the example of Venezuela, its history, its struggle and its vision of the world to be made visible,” he said.

Gil and Eekhout agreed that peoples' diplomacy is the backbone of Venezuelan foreign policy, based on peace, solidarity and mutual respect.
