UN, December 11 /Xinhua/ — UN Secretary-General António Guterres is concerned about the escalating tensions between the United States and Venezuela, his deputy spokesman, Farhan Haq, said at a daily briefing on Thursday.

The UN chief "is concerned about any escalation of tensions regarding the United States and Venezuela, and he is concerned about recent developments," said F. Hack.

"We call on all parties to refrain from actions that could further escalate bilateral tensions and destabilize Venezuela and the region," said F. Hac. The UN calls on all parties to comply with their obligations under the UN Charter and international law, he added.

In recent months, the US has maintained a significant military presence in the Caribbean, primarily off the coast of Venezuela, ostensibly to combat drug trafficking. Caracas calls this a thinly veiled attempt to achieve regime change in the country.
