With the participation of more than 750 international representatives from more than twenty countries, the first preparatory meeting was held in Caracas towards the eleventh anniversary of the Declaration of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, adopted in Havana by the 33 member countries of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac).
The activity took place at the International University of Communications and was coordinated by the rector of this university, Tania Díaz, who insisted on the importance of articulating a collective response to the imperial offensive against Venezuela and the region.
Díaz reaffirmed that Venezuela lives in peace and recalled that the country maintains supportive and respectful relations with its brother peoples, without confrontations with its neighbors. He denounced, however, that the only conflict comes from the unilateral aggression of the United States Government, whose policies seek to suffocate the country and destabilize all of America.
For her part, Gloria Flórez, president of the Human Colombia Movement, stressed that Venezuela constitutes a fundamental pillar of the Latin American and Caribbean integration project, for its defense of sovereignty, social justice and the self-determination of the people.
