“I believe that relations between the governments and peoples of China and Venezuela are relations of mutual trust, true brotherhood and cooperation for common development,” stressed the head of state.

Maduro praised the productive nature of the bilateral relations and expressed Venezuela’s strong support for China’s vision of creating a global community that values the world’s diversity and various civilizations.

He highlighted that Chinese President Xi Jinping’s proposed path unites people across different domains such as the economy, trade and culture, while also paving the way to move away from the old era of colonialism and imperialism. Maduro also commended China’s efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He further explained that Venezuela is making strides in constructing a new economic model by diversifying its production. He underscored that the international community now has a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of a multipolar world, one that is not dominated by any single country or group.

He said that dozens of developing countries are helping humanity to reunite and regain the right to happiness, equality, freedom and democracy, as reported by teleSUR, a partner of TV BRICS.
