 In the framework of the 80th General Assembly of the United Nations (UN), Foreign Minister Gil thanked the overwhelming solidarity of the governments and peoples of the world and especially the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the BRICS group, which have supported Venezuelan sovereignty and Venezuela’s right to peace and development.
