Members of 60 delegations, from the five(05) conti-nents that participated in the encounter: “Todos Somos Venezuela”, held in the capital city of Venezuela, Cara-cas, agreed to carry out solidarity activities in each country in support of the sovereignty and democracy of the countries, especially of the South American nation that currently faces the interventionist policy of the United States.

"Our commitment to peace, sovereignty and Bolivarian democracy is intimately linked to the development of a broad and permanent day of solidarity in each coun-try; driven by every political, social, religious and work-ers' organization of democratic character participating in this day ". Its part of the Caracas Proclamation signed during the international event Dialogue for Peace, Sovereignty and Bolivarian democracy, held between September 16th and 19th.

These actions were taken after the economic sanctions imposed on Venezuela by the United States, which were formalized on August 25th, with the executive decree signed by US President Donald Trump

The more than 200 international representatives, in-cluding Bolivia's President Evo Morales, ratified the

document that warns that aggressions of the American empire, constitute a violation of the principles of international law and the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Peace Zone, endorsed in 2014 by the countries that make up the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC).

In response to Washington's interference, the Venezuelan people, through the National Constituent Assembly, elected by more than 8 million citizens on July 30th, seek the estab-lishment of a new political and legal order that shields the peace against violent events sponsored by the extreme right and to strengthen the bases of the social, democratic, law and justice state consecrated in the Constitution of 1999.

The result of the debates of this Solidarity Encounter was the formation of a plan of action, published together with the Proclamation, to lessen the campaign of transnational media that portray Venezuela like a dictatorship, also to strengthen the links between the movements, organizations

and state representatives, that fight in each country for the sovereignty of the towns.

Among the actions to be imple-mented in each country are: Broad-casting the Encounter results; Sup-port statements by organizations and personalities to national and international media; design a data-base of all the companions of Vene-zuela in the fight for their sovereign-ty; to display the "Global Infor-mation Campaign: The Truth of Venezuela; and the creation of an international media that serves as a platform to the disseminate the ac-tivities of the plan.

He considered that, like all human beings, Venezuelans have the right to live a dignified life, in which they are not the objects of impe-rial aggression, "as President Hugo Chavez said, Vene-zuelans are responsible for the reins of their lives and they should not accept foreign dominations. "

For his part, Baleni said that in his view solidarity is empathy, "that is, your pain is my pain, I am feeling what you are feeling, beyond that solidarity becomes effective when I do something to contribute. That is why we have come here from so far away to express

The Chancellor of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezue-la, Jorge Arreaza Montserrat, offered Monday a bal-ance of Venezuelan diplomatic participation in the sev-enty-second session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN), where he noted that they have sustained more of 30 bilateral meetings with UN Mem-ber States and 4 International Organizations.

He reiterated that what is sought with such statements is the destabilization of the country, causing that Venezuela does not achieve its development and progress.

"Our greatest revenge is to continue with a country in Revo-lution, building economic prosperity, working, producing, developing public education, developing culture, develop-ing missions and great missions. This will be the anti-imperialist revenge of the Venezuelan people", commented President Nicolás Maduro.

In an activity on the creation of the AgroSur Consorti-um, which seeks to articulate the cereal, coffee, sugar, cocoa, poultry and meat companies, the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, criticized a statement issued as a results of a meeting between Spain and the United States, where both presidents, Mariano Rajoy and Donald Trump, has been talk about the internal affairs of Venezuela, when in their nations there are more serious problems.

In addition, he said that Trump and Rajoy are obsessed with Venezuela, while questioning that the American President does not know where the Caribbean nation is and yet he dared to speak of a "socialist dictatorship" as a system of the government he presides over, where the reality is that there are full liberties and democracy for all people, as evidenced by the 22 elections held in 18 years. In addition, President Maduro add-ed that "in socialism a dictatorship is im-possible. Only in capitalism is it possible to

ternational law", said Foreign Minister Ar-reaza.

Likewise, the Foreign Minister stressed the willingness of the member states of the UN to rectify the position on Venezuela after know-ing the reality of what is happening in the country.

"We have spoken with the truth of Venezue-la, we have said what the world did not know, because the media does not share the truth about what is happening in Venezue-lan, on the contrary, media try to impose a lie".

At the same time, the Venezuelan diplomat strongly rejected the position of the United States Government in trying to impose uni-

lateralism in the world: "we are threatened by the strongest military power that ever existed in the history of mankind, we have economic sanctions that seek make suffering to our people, to force a change of government", he said.

Likewise, Foreign Minister Arreaza pointed out the need to totally neutralize the dictatorship that the United States maintains at the UN, "they try to manipulate other coun-tries to go in the current that they impose, that has to dis-appear from the world."

Finally, the Minister of Foreign Affairs called for respect for international law and for multilateralism, "Diplomacy of Peace is with all countries, dialogue must be imposed," he concluded.
