Caracas, Jun 2 (Xinhua)-The United Nations General Assembly on Monday re-elected the Venezuelan ambassador to that instance, Samuel Moncada, as vice president of its 80th session period (2025-2026), on behalf of the Group of Latin America and the Caribbean (Gulac).
This is the second consecutive mandate of the Venezuelan diplomat in this high responsibility, which demonstrates a sustained regional support and the assessment of the active role of Venezuela in the main UN deliberation organ.
The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry reported in a statement that this re -election consolidates the recognition of the country in multilateral spaces and reinforces its institutional presence in the defense of the principles of the United Nations Charter.
Moncada, who also coordinates the group of friends in defense of the UN Charter, has promoted respect for the sovereignty of states, multilateralism and international cooperation since this position.
During its previous management, the ambassador promoted key debates around the impact of unilateral coercive measures on human rights and development, as well as issues related to decolonization and economic and social justice.
Venezuelan diplomacy has focused its interventions on respect for international law, the self -determination of peoples and the construction of a multipolar order based on the dialogue between civilizations.
The Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs celebrated the decision of the international organization, highlighting that it reflects the country’s commitment to peace, sovereignty and the fight against blockages and sanctions.
“This achievement is a testimony of the commitment of the Bolivarian Government and the Venezuelan people with dialogue, sovereignty, multipolarity, the defense of the UN letter and the right of peoples to self -determination, as well as a life free of imperialist blockages and sanctions,” said Foreign Minister Yván Gil through the social network Telegram.
The re -election of Venezuela to the vice presidency of the General Assembly is registered in a foreign policy strategy that seeks to project the voice of the country in defense of international law and that Caracas calls “Bolivarian Diplomacy of Peace.”
