Beijing, November 28 (Xinhua) — China calls on the United States to lift its illegal unilateral sanctions against Venezuela and to do more to promote peace, stability, and development in Latin America and the Caribbean, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press conference on Friday.

On November 24, the United States officially added the Cartel de los Soles to its list of foreign terrorist organizations, imposing sanctions against a group it claims includes Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and other high-ranking officials. In a statement, the Venezuelan side expressed its disagreement with this move, calling it an absurd lie aimed at illegally interfering in Venezuela's internal affairs.

“China has always opposed unilateral sanctions, which have no basis in international law and are not sanctioned by the UN Security Council, and opposes external interference in Venezuela’s internal affairs under any pretext,” Mao Ning responded to a corresponding question. -0-
