Caracas, December 10 (Xinhua) — The US government is waging a "psychological war" against Venezuela following the failure of economic sanctions, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Iván Gil said Tuesday while speaking at the opening ceremony of the "Popular Assembly for Peace and Sovereignty in Our America."

"They are now resorting to psychological warfare, to psychological warfare," he said. According to the Foreign Minister, as part of its new strategy, the United States is using "economic, military, and, above all, media power to wage unprecedented psychological warfare" against Venezuela and the region.

This is “a very important challenge in the history of our republics in our region,” said I. Khil, adding that more than 500 delegates from about 50 countries on all continents are participating in the current event.

The "People's Assembly," organized by Venezuela's National Council for Sovereignty and Peace, will focus on key issues such as the US military threat, transnational crime in the region, and the Monroe Doctrine, which Washington has returned to in order to gain dominance over the region, the minister noted.

Since late August, the United States has maintained a significant military presence in the Caribbean, calling it part of an effort to combat drug trafficking. Caracas has condemned the American actions as an attempt at regime change in Venezuela.
