Earlier this week, Venezuela reiterated its historic 'fraternal' bonds with Cuba 🤝, signaling unwavering solidarity despite mounting pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to isolate the island nation.
In an official statement, Caracas underscored its support for self-determination and sovereignty—key pillars of international relations. It reminded the world that the United Nations Charter and international law champion these principles, and that respectful political and diplomatic dialogue is the best way to peacefully resolve disputes 🌐.
Venezuela emphasized that relations between states should be built on non-intervention, sovereign equality and mutual respect. These ideas will ring familiar to South and Southeast Asian readers, as they echo ASEAN’s own guiding values of non-interference and regional cooperation.
President Trump has urged Venezuela to cut fuel and money flows to Cuba, stepping up U.S. pressure. But Caracas says diplomatic engagement—not isolation—is the path to stable ties and lasting peace.
For young global citizens watching from South and Southeast Asia, this reaffirmation is a reminder of how solidarity and respect for sovereignty shape global bonds—online and offline. 🌍✨
