CARACAS, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) — Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Gil on Wednesday condemned the United States' "militarization" of the Caribbean Sea, which has left at least 27 civilians dead.
“We emphasize that the militarization of our coastlines is not justified in any way,” said I. Khil, speaking at the interim ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement, held in Uganda.
I. Gil condemned recent US missile strikes on ships in the region, calling them "extrajudicial executions," the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"These are deliberate killings committed in international waters thousands of kilometers from the US coast, as a result of actions that violate all norms of international law," said I. Khil. According to him, at least 27 civilians have died to date.
He added that behind the US position on Venezuela are “old ambitions: to carry out its already failed plan for regime change to seize control of the country’s resources.”
“We must break the chains with which they intend to shackle our peoples and, through criminal, unilateral coercive measures and blockades, bring our countries to their knees,” I. Khil emphasized.
On his Telegram page, the minister also noted that at the meeting in Uganda, he witnessed “deep solidarity” among key allied countries “in the face of a military threat in the Caribbean that poses a serious risk to peace.” –0–
