Venezuela ratifies its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals before the UN

At the Conference on the Oceans of the United Nations (UN), the Sectoral Vice President for Social and Territorial Socialism, Mervin Maldonado, stressed that “Venezuela reaffirms its commitment to leave no one behind, to eradicate poverty in all its dimensions and to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

From the city of Lisbon, in Portugal, he called on the international community to renew its commitment and cooperate at the global, regional and sub-regional levels to achieve all the established objectives as soon as possible, and without any undue delay:

For Venezuela, this commitment represents a double challenge, because in addition to those that we all face in the implementation of the SDGs, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the Venezuelan people faces the effects generated by the illegal application of a commercial, economic and financial blockade by the United States”, emphasized Maldonado.

Happy Wednesday!

Today at 6 am Venezuelan time, 11 am Portugal time, on behalf of President @NicolasMaduro we will give our country message before the United Nations Conference on the Oceans, Lisbon 2022

Let’s save the planet together! https://t.co/1N1u3YmHIH”
