United Nations (United States) (AFP) – Russia and China joined Cuba, Iran, North Korea and several other countries at the United Nations on Thursday to show support for Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro in his showdown with the United States.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza told reporters the newly-formed support group would take action in the coming days „to raise awareness around the dangers that our people currently face.“
„We all have the right to live without the threat of use of force and without application of illegal coercive unilateral measures,“ Arreaza told journalists, flanked by the ambassadors of several countries.
Among those at Arreaza’s side were envoys from Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, Nicaragua, Bolivia, North Korea, Syria along with the Palestinian representative and diplomats from Caribbean countries.
