CARACAS, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) — Venezuela on Sunday reaffirmed its "historic position" toward Cuba, declaring its unwavering commitment to the principles of "brotherhood, solidarity, cooperation and complementarity" despite mounting pressure from Washington to isolate the island nation.
The Venezuelan government's statement emphasizes its support for the free exercise by peoples of the right to self-determination and sovereignty, which Caracas considers fundamental principles of international relations.
The document also notes the commitment to the principles enshrined in the UN Charter and international law, and emphasizes the long-term and evolving nature of the ties between Venezuela and Cuba.
The Venezuelan government has stated that relations between states must be based on the principles of non-interference, sovereign equality and self-determination, and that “political and diplomatic dialogue” is the only viable path for the “peaceful resolution of disputes of any kind.”
The statement comes amid mounting pressure from US President Donald Trump, who is calling on Venezuela to isolate Cuba by cutting off fuel and financial flows from the South American country to the island.
