Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro highlighted the support expressed by the majority of member countries and groups of the United Nations for the defense of Venezuela and the region of Latin America and the Caribbean. The outpouring of diplomatic support occurs amid the multifaceted aggression that the United States is carrying out against Venezuela, which includes a significant naval and military deployment near the Venezuelan coast.
During a televised broadcast, the Venezuelan president noted that the delegation headed by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil attended the 80th United Nations General Assembly held from Sept. 23 to 29 in New York City.

During the meetings, Venezuela received vocal support from various regional and global organizations, including the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP); the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC); the BRICS group led by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa; and the Non-Aligned Movement, which includes 120 nations.
The Venezuelan president also highlighted a private meeting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who reaffirmed the importance of preserving Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace. Guterres also expressed concern about the escalation of attacks against Venezuela over the past seven weeks.
President Maduro highlighted that Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez and Caribbean leaders expressed “almost in unison, a single voice from the Caribbean in support of Venezuela, because the Caribbean wants peace.”
The president also noted the strong support from Iran, Russia, China, and other countries who reaffirmed the importance of adhering to international law and respecting Venezuelan sovereignty.

In this context, the president highlighted the transformation that has taken place in recent years in the field of international relations, which has seen the emergence of “a multipolar world that does not accept the mandate, orders, or hegemony of any country.”
The Venezuelan head of state noted the sea change that has occurred in international diplomatic relations over the last few years. In the past, noted President Maduro, “the president of the United States spoke at the United Nations General Assembly, and at least 100 countries then echoed the US president’s main ideas and openly supported him. This time, that did not happen. This time, not even Israel [did so] because Netanyahu spoke to an empty hall.”
President Maduro added that Zionism is losing support, and its plans for the extermination of the Palestinian, Lebanese, Syrian, and Iranian people are openly condemned.
