Venezuela from the Non-Aligned Movement will defend Palestine

This Tuesday arrived at the Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía, the Foreign Minister of the State of Palestine, Riad Malki, who is in Venezuelan territory to convey a message of solidarity, support and fraternal friendship of the Palestinian Government and people with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Chancellor Malki was welcomed by his Venezuelan counterpart, Jorge Arreaza, who expressed his deepest joy on behalf of the Bolivarian Government towards the Palestinian cause and the fraternal, loyal and supportive support that Venezuela maintains with the brotherly people of Palestine.

Chancellor Arreaza said that in the coming days he will head a meeting in the city of Addis Ababa, in Ethiopia, of the Special Committee of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries.

“It is an honor to receive Chancellor Malki, for us the existence of the State of Palestine is fundamental and as we well know with its capital city: Jerusalem (…) we are more than two member countries of an organization, we are brotherly peoples and so it will be forever”, said Minister Arreaza.

For his part, the Head of the Palestinian Foreign Ministry emphasized the need to discuss the steps to be taken to confront the conspiracy that permanently attacks both Venezuela and Palestine.

“I come to consult with friends how we can confront the challenges together, especially because there is a common danger and the fight is joint against imperialism (…) we also need to talk about how to develop our bilateral relations for the well-being of our peoples,” said the Palestinian Chancellor Riad Malki.

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the State of Palestine maintain close relations of bilateral cooperation in the areas of health, culture, oil, food, agriculture and mining.

In addition, the Bolivarian Government has been a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause and has actively raised its voice against the aggressions and interference by foreign Governments against the brotherly people.
