Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez highlighted this concern, while the Venezuelan government thanked Belarus for its firm call to respect Latin American and Caribbean sovereignty amid these U.S. naval movements. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro received credentials from new ambassadors, including Belarusian Ambassador Dzmitry Dzeravinsky, reaffirming active cooperation and alliances. Additionally, Venezuela’s Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López met with Chinese Ambassador Lan Hu to review bilateral cooperation, and Vice President Delcy Rodríguez held talks with Indian Ambassador P.K. Ashok Babu to strengthen ties. Venezuela and Brazil jointly called for an immediate end to what they described as U.S. aggressions against the region.
