CARACAS, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Gil met with UN Resident Coordinator in Venezuela Gianluca Rampolla on Tuesday, expressing concern over recent US military actions in the Caribbean region, such as the deployment of a nuclear submarine, and calling on the UN to take appropriate measures.
“We discussed the threats from the United States that the region, declared a CELAC peace zone in 2014, faces,” he wrote in a post on the social media platform Telegram later that day.
According to I. Gil, Venezuela hopes that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres will provide support “to restore common sense.”
I. Gil rejected US claims that its new deployments in the Caribbean are aimed at combating drug trafficking, noting that Venezuela is “a territory free of illegal crops.”
The guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Erie and the fast nuclear-powered submarine USS Newport News will arrive in the Caribbean early next week, media reported.
In response, the Venezuelan side demanded that Washington immediately stop new deployments in the Caribbean region and also called for guarantees that it will not deploy or threaten to use nuclear weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean region. –0–
