Russia, Venezuela Seek Strategic Integration

Moscow - Russia and Venezuela could go from an integration of strategic partners to one of strategic brothers, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez said on Friday, after meeting with State Duma Speaker Viacheslav Volodin.

During a meeting at the legislative headquarters, Rodriguez stressed the importance of expanding cooperation in all areas with Russia and considered it a link among complementary cooperation nations.

Our countries have all capacities for the defense of the international law, the Venezuelan official, who arrived Thursday in Moscow, said.

The Venezuelan Vice President stressed that both countries are fostering an informal group in the United Nations to defend the Charter of that organization and the international law, to which some 50 countries joined and the list grows even more, so we are the majority, she said.

Most of the states in the world support an international order in which multilateral ideas are respected and unilateralism is rejected, the Venezuelan leader said at a meeting attended by the four parties of the Duma.

Commenting on a Volodin's invitation to participate in an international parliamentary development event in Doha, Rodriguez stated that bringing the issue of self-proclaimed president Juan Guaido there would be good.

The Venezuelan Constitution does not include anything related to the actions of Guaido, who as a legislator won a very low number of votes and proclaimed himself in the street as a Head of State. Any other person could do so in another country, she warned.

Washington is not looking for anything of democracy in Venezuela, where five elections were held in the last 12 months, while there were 25 elections in two decades, the official said.

Volodin, on the other hand, reaffirmed Russia's rejection of the flagrant violation of rules of the international law and the UN Charter by the United States, such as respect for the sovereignty of the countries and the non-interference in their internal affairs.
