The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, held a meeting with the High Commissioner for Human Rights (DDHH) of the United Nations (UN), Michelle Bachelet, who ended her stay in Venezuela on Friday.
During the meeting held at Miraflores Palace, the Head of State made known the impact caused by the coercive and unilateral measures imposed by the United States (US) against the nation, which resulted in an economic blockade and financial.
In the same way, were made visible the advances of the integral social policies promoted by the Bolivarian Revolution to guarantee the protection of the Venezuelan people.
“After having talked almost two hours with Dr. Michelle Bachelet, it was a good visit. (…) We have taken a first step towards a fluid relationship of cooperation for the Human Rights of Venezuelans, if that progress has been a success for Venezuela and the Human Rights System”, he said.
The National President emphasized his willingness as Head of State and Government to take with all seriousness the suggestions and recommendations of the High Commissioner, so that in Venezuela he would deprive an ever better Human Rights system.
