Delcy Rodríguez pointed out that with the Colombian president she confirmed that Colombia and Venezuela are brother countries committed to jointly facing common problems, on the basis of mutual respect and regional cooperation.
Delcy Rodríguez reported that she held conversations with the presidents of Brazil, Colombia and Spain in the context of what she described as a “serious criminal, illegal and illegitimate aggression” against Venezuela, after the capture of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores.
According to Rodríguez, during the exchanges with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Gustavo Petro and Pedro Sánchez, he presented details about alleged armed attacks against Venezuelan territory that would have left more than a hundred civilians and soldiers murdered, as well as “serious violations of International Law.”
Among the allegations, Rodríguez assured that the personal immunity of the “constitutional president and the first lady” was violated, facts that – he stated – were brought to the attention of the consulted governments.
He indicated that in the conversations they agreed on the need to move towards a broad agenda of bilateral cooperation, based on respect for International Law, the sovereignty of States and dialogue between peoples.
The vice president especially thanked the Brazilian president and the people of Brazil for the support provided “in the most critical moments” after the reported attack. Likewise, he pointed out that with the Colombian president he confirmed that Colombia and Venezuela are brother countries committed to jointly facing common problems, based on mutual respect and regional cooperation.

Finally, he reiterated that Venezuela will continue to face the situation through diplomatic means, adhering – as he stated – to the principles of “Bolivarian Peace Diplomacy”, as a mechanism for the defense of sovereignty and the preservation of peace.
