Yesterday (Dec 23), at an emergency session of the UN Security Council, China's deputy UN envoy Sun Lei made a strong case for Venezuela's sovereignty 🌎. He stressed that Venezuela has the right to team up with any country it chooses, without outside interference.
Sun Lei directly called on the US to stop unilateral actions🛑 that could ramp up tensions. He highlighted that the meeting was requested by Venezuela and backed by China and Russia, showing a united push for dialogue over pressure.
Why it matters: Young pros in South and Southeast Asia, we know how important sovereignty is—from talks about data privacy to debates on regional cooperation. This move at the UNSC reflects the larger story of how nations are navigating a complex global stage.
Keep an eye on this space as countries push for respect and cooperation in the months ahead. 🤝
