The Minister of People’s Power for Foreign Affairs, Jorge Arreaza, held a meeting on Monday with members of Brazil’s Landless Workers’ Movement (MST in Portuguese) and the International People’s Assembly to strengthen Venezuela’s cooperation with the people of the world amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the meeting, they assessed the global sanitary crisis and the solidarity-based response of international social movements to face coronavirus.
On his Twitter account @jaarreaza, the Venezuelan foreign minister posted a video of the meeting held at the headquarters of Venezuela’s Foreign Ministry, in Caracas:
“Deepening the People’s Bolivarian Diplomacy. We met with representatives of Brazil’s Landless Workers’ Movement @MST_Oficial and the International People’s Assembly. We talked about the response of social movements to the #Covid_19 pandemic.”

In 20 years of Bolivarian Revolution, Venezuela has consolidated a reciprocal support with social movements and the peoples of the world by facing attacks promoted by imperialism against those countries that refuse to bow to capitalist interests and work for the common wellbeing.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that solidarity among people and multilateralism are increasingly necessary to overcome any contingency, making clear what political system cares for the preservation of the human species above articular interests: socialism.
