Kampala, January 21 (RHC) The Foreign Minister of Venezuela, Yván Gil, held this Sunday in Kampala, Uganda, a meeting with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, where they addressed important issues.
This meeting took place as part of the third southern summit of the leaders of the Group of 77 (G77) and China, the senior diplomat wrote in his report on the social network X.
He noted that in the dialogue they addressed the “compelling need” to transform the global financial system to meet the needs of countries in the Global South.
Instead, he said, it is a predatory system that undermines the developing world.
Gil extended President Nicolás Maduro's greetings to the senior UN official and reiterated the Bolivarian government's willingness to maintain and strengthen cooperation with the organization and its agencies.
All of this results in benefits for the most vulnerable people in jointly prioritized areas, the State Department announced on its website.
He recalled that at the previous summit of leaders of the G77 and China, held between September 15 and 16 in Havana, Cuba, Maduro spoke with Guterres on issues of common interest affecting the multilateral organization .
The Bolivarian Republic celebrated that 132 countries spoke out at the United Nations last year against the use of unilateral coercive measures as a tool to collectively punish developing countries, the source said.
In the intervention of the Venezuelan Foreign Minister at the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, Gil expressed the Bolivarian President's interest in asking for support from the multilateral organization to address the phenomenon of migration flows from a comprehensive and humanistic perspective.
The senior diplomat proposed an international conference in Venezuela without exclusions where common agreements and commitments would be reached, the State Department noted. (Source:PL)
