UN General Assembly
2025

In the same spirit, we are also concerned by the imposition of unilateral coercive measures, such as those currently applied to Venezuela. These sanctions impose suffering on the Venezuelan people, hinder the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and leave many behind. We call for dialogue and negotiation between the parties to alleviate the misery that afflicts the Venezuelan people. Excellencies, Madam President, To conclude, this 80th session of the General Assembly reminds us that the United Nations, through though imperfect, remains our greatest common instrument for peace and collective progress. The values enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, the sovereignty of states, respect for human rights, the peaceful settlement of disputes, and cooperation for development, remain the compass that guides us. Let us, therefore, renew our commitment to multilateralism, not as an abstract principle, but as a daily practice of listening, compromise, and joint action.
