Venezuela's acting president says differences with US will be resolved through diplomacy

Acting President Delcy Rodriguez commits to "Bolivarian diplomacy" to resolve disputes with Washington and calls for internal unity without foreign interference.

"Enough of orders from Washington to politicians in Venezuela. - Delcy Rodriguez"

Caracas, Jan 26

Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez said that differences with the United States would be resolved through diplomatic channels.

Speaking at an event with oil workers at the Puerto La Cruz refinery in northeastern Venezuela on Sunday, Rodriguez said her government would address long-standing disputes with Washington "face to face" through what she described as Bolivarian diplomacy, Xinhua news agency reported.

"We are not afraid, because what must unite us as a people is guaranteeing peace and stability for this country," Rodriguez said.

She said Venezuela never imagined that a South American capital would be subjected to a military attack by a foreign power, referring to the event on January 3, when US forces attacked Caracas and took by force President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

Rodriguez called for national unity and urged Venezuelans to resolve internal differences through domestic political dialogue, without foreign interference.

"Enough of orders from Washington to politicians in Venezuela," she said. "Venezuela must resolve its own differences and conflicts."

Earlier on Saturday, Rodriguez called for discussions with the opposition to reach "agreements" for peace, three weeks after the US ouster of her former boss, Maduro.

"There can be no political or partisan differences when it comes to peace in Venezuela," she said on state television, speaking from the coastal state of La Guaira.

"Despite our differences, we must speak to each other with respect. Despite our differences, we must come together and reach agreements," she added.

Interesting to see this perspective. While dialogue is good, the situation there is so complex. The call for internal resolution without foreign interference is a strong point many countries, including ours, can relate to.

"Enough of orders from Washington" - she is absolutely right! Big powers should not bully smaller nations. We in India have always believed in peaceful coexistence and non-interference. Hope they find a stable solution soon.

Respectfully, while the principle is good, the ground reality in Venezuela is of a deep economic crisis. The acting president's words need to be matched with actions that actually help the common people. Internal dialogue is crucial, but so is accountability.

The reference to a military attack on a South American capital is shocking. It sets a dangerous precedent. The world must uphold international law. Good to see a diplomatic approach being emphasized.

As an observer, the call for national unity and resolving differences "with respect" is a universal message. Every country, from the US to India to Venezuela, could use more of that spirit right now. Hope the diplomacy works.
