"We reject hegemonic aggressions and reaffirm our confidence in multilateralism," Venezuela's Foreign Affairs Minister Arreaza said, adding the U.S. attempts to reintroduce the Monroe Doctrine in Latin America will fail.
China's Foreign Affairs Minister Wang Yi stated that his country supports international justice and is unconditionally on the side of the Venezuelan people.
"Any external interference runs contrary to the will of the people, and will not be sustainable," Wang said, as reported by Xinhua.
"China believes that Venezuela has the ability and wisdom to resolve the problems it faces through domestic dialogue and China is willing to play a constructive role in this regard."
He also highlighted that Venezuela faces the challenges of preventing and controlling the pandemic amidst the U.S. interference on its domestic affairs.
So far, the strategic alliance between China and Venezuela has resulted in over 500 joint projects in various economic activities.
Arreaza and Wang also referred to their joint efforts to rebuild the ancient Silk Road, which will bring development and shared prosperity for both countries.
