In a significant diplomatic event, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro welcomed Firky Cassidy, the newly appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Indonesia to Venezuela, at the Miraflores Palace.
Their meeting reaffirms the deep and historic ties between the two nations,spanning over six decades,and outlines a future of strategic cooperation informed by principles of peace diplomacy championed by the Bolivarian Government.
Indonesia, as the leading economy within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and a newly inducted member of the BRICS alliance, emerges as a key partner for Venezuela in an evolving multipolar global order.
Both countries emphasize strengthening commercial and economic collaboration,especially in sectors like trade, tourism, palm oil and nickel production, and energy transition. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil’s recent dialogue with Indonesian counterpart Sugiono highlighted ambitions to activate the IV Bilateral Joint Commission, fostering new agreements and technological exchanges aimed at mutual development.
The Bolivarian Government’s approach to international relations favors solidarity, sovereignty, and multiparty cooperation against imperialist pressures. The ambassador’s distinguished diplomatic trajectory, begun in 1994, aligns with Venezuela’s vision to cultivate alliances beyond traditional Western spheres.
The concurrent accreditation of Ambassador Cassidy to multiple Caribbean nations also reflects Venezuela’s regional and global strategy of fostering South-South cooperation rooted in shared values of resistance, dignity, and economic justice.
The text reads: The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, @nicolasmaduro, receives the letters of credential from His Excellency Mr. Firky Cassidy, Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia, in a formal ceremony at the Miraflores Palace.
The credentialing of Indonesia’s ambassador signals not only a continuation but also an expansion of Venezuela’s foreign policy dedicated to peace, cooperation, and the strengthening of economic ties in the Global South. By deepening relations with Indonesia,a country actively asserting leadership in emerging economies,the Bolivarian Republic reinforces its commitment to diplomatic diversity and collaborative development, charting a path toward shared prosperity and global solidarity.
