Venezuela Participates in India Energy Week

From February 11 to 14, 2025, India becomes the epicenter of the India Energy Week (IEW 2025), a crucial forum to address global challenges such as “global dimming,” a term introduced by Venezuelan analyst Dr. Miguel Jaimes in an exclusive interview with teleSUR.

In a world where 700 million people still lack consistent access to clean energy, Jaimes underscores the urgent need to establish 80 million power lines across the planet.

Venezuela arrives at this significant event with an agenda that combines resilience and energy diplomacy, highlighting its role as a strategic supplier despite facing over 10,000 international sanctions.

The South American country’s participation is led by Vice President Delcy Rodríguez and the ambassador to India, reinforcing ties between the two nations.

Jaimes emphasizes that India, with its vast population of 1.4 billion, shares a history of overcoming sanctions, similar to Venezuela’s experience. The analyst notes that India developed its own electrical infrastructure after being denied external aid, making its experience a valuable resource for other countries in similar situations.

Jaimes also highlights Russia’s role, describing it as a “flag in a gloomy global scenario.” Despite the conflict in Ukraine, Russia continues to strengthen its energy position on platforms spanning over 7 billion inhabitants from Africa to Asia.

According to Jaimes, this trilateral alliance between Venezuela, India, and Russia seeks to overcome obstacles hindering adequate energy flow for development, in a clear reference to Western policies.

Venezuela presents itself at the event not only as an oil exporter but with a comprehensive vision that includes creating replicable structures in various areas to form a “coalition of energy understanding.”

President Nicolás Maduro will share strategies on resilient and self-sustaining economies, essential for diversifying markets and advancing toward clean energy.

Vice President Rodríguez’s agenda includes meetings with Indian authorities to review aspects of bilateral cooperation ranging from technology to food security. Jaimes points out that this visit relaunches relations at a key moment, as India shows interest in Latin America while Venezuela seeks to break its international isolation.

The analyst concludes by stating that “Europe, the U.S., and the West have sculpted a project of clay that is crumbling,” while emerging powers like the BRICS are gaining ground.

With its participation in IEW 2025, Venezuela not only seeks investments but also aims to position an alternative model that promotes a “planet with energy flow free from sanctions.”
