President Maduro: President Obama has launched a campaign to re-conquer Latin America The President of the Republic, Nicolas Maduro heading a council of ministers in the Miraflores Palace, in Caracas. In his speech, he said that the campaign they have undertaken against the Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and the Bolivarian Revolution "indicates that the campaign of infamy and lies is alive." "We have been swimming against the tide but these are the paths we should follow, but yes, we do need to do big rectifications of the wear produced by being government for 17 years in Venezuela," he said. It also stated that "we must recognize that the right oligarchies have resumed their script and have started a campaign to make us disappear." "We cannot ignore the campaign of the empire to re-conquer Latin America and the Caribbean, that is headed by President Obama (...) They are implementing a new condor plan against the people who have found their own way and that only we can find your way and our own strength." He also noted that in the coming days, the Executive Vice President, Aristobulo Isturiz will travel to India, Africa and Brazil to continue strengthening relations. www.aporrea.org

THE GROUP OF 77 PERMANENT MISSION OF THE KINGDOM OF THAILAND TO THE UNITED NATIONS CHAIR OF THE GROUP OF 77 AND CHINA
COMMUNIQUÉ The Group of 77 and China reiterates its rejection to the latest decision of the Government of the United States of America to renew its unilateral sanctions against the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, on March 4th 2016, under the Executive Order signed by President Barack Obama, which declares "a national emergency with respects to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by the situation in Venezuela". We reaffirm, at the same time, the Declaration adopted at the Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Group of 77 held in Santa Cruz de la Sierra that firmly rejects the imposition of laws and regulations with extraterritorial impact and all other forms of coercive economic measures, including unilateral sanctions, against developing countries. The Group of 77 and China deplores these measures and reiterates its firm support for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. In this regard, the Group of 77 and China emphasizes the need to respect international law, including the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations and the Declaration of Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. The G-77 and China underlines the positive contribution of Venezuela to the strengthening of South-South Cooperation, solidarity and friendship among all peoples and nations, with a view to promoting peace and development. The Group of 77 and China conveys its solidarity and support to the Venezuelan Government affected by these measures which do not contribute, in any way, to the spirit of political and economic dialogue and understanding among countries. To the same extent, we urge the international community to adopt urgent and effective measures to eliminate the use of unilateral coercive economic measures against any State, in particular, developing countries. The G-77 and China calls upon the Government of the United States to evaluate and implement alternatives for a dialogue with the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, under the principle of respect to sovereignty and self-determination of the peoples. Therefore, it urges to repeal the aforementioned Executive Order.

Russia indicates of attempts to destroy Venezuela from Outside The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, expressed that Venezuela is a friend country and that there are attempts to destroy it from outside. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that his country has been closely following the internal situation in Venezuela and stressed that it is exacerbated by external interference. "Venezuela is a friend country that they are trying to destroy from outside," Lavrov said during a meeting in Moscow with Venezuelan diplomats and Latin American students who are attending a course in diplomatic studies organized by the Russian Foreign Ministry. At the meeting, the top diplomat explained the vision of Russia in respect to political, commercial and cultural relations with Latin America. He added that the Russian Government is pleased to see how Latin American countries have unanimously rejected coups and intervention, as a way to get to power.
In March 2014, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation said through a statement of solidarity of that country with Venezuela and its strong support for its policy to prevent destabilization. The Government of the Eurasian nation likewise expressed confidence that the efforts of the South American president, Nicolas Maduro, will help consolidate the Venezuelan society and ensure the preservation of law and constitutional order. www.teleSURtv.net
