In a message disseminated through her Telegram channel, Delcy Rodríguez, in her capacity as Acting President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, reiterated the country’s historical commitment to peace, sovereignty, and peaceful coexistence, while opening the door to a “balanced and respectful” relationship with the United States and with countries across the region, APA reports, citing Guacamaya.
In a statement with clear political and diplomatic overtones, Rodríguez reaffirmed that Venezuela aspires to live “without external threats,” within an international environment grounded in mutual respect and cooperation. In her view, global peace can only be built by first guaranteeing the peace of each nation—a principle she stressed guides Venezuelan foreign policy.
Rodríguez underscored as a priority the advancement of a bilateral relationship with the United States based on sovereign equality and non-interference in internal affairs, while simultaneously strengthening respectful ties with the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. “These principles guide our diplomacy with the rest of the countries of the world,” she stated.
Within this framework, she extended a direct invitation to the U.S. government to work jointly on a cooperation agenda aimed at shared development, always within the framework of international legality and with the goal of consolidating a lasting coexistence between both nations.
The message included an explicit appeal to President Donald Trump, whom Rodríguez told that “our peoples and our region deserve peace and dialogue, not war.” She affirmed that this has been the consistent stance of President Nicolás Maduro and that it now reflects the will of all of Venezuela.
