Arreaza: Bolivarian Peace Diplomacy is our path to prevent wars and conflicts among nations

Caracas, April 15, 2024.- The Executive Secretary of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), Jorge Arreaza, stated via his account on X, that the regional bloc embraces Bolivarian Diplomacy, promoted by Commander Hugo Chávez and President Nicolás Maduro Moros, as the method to achieve and foster world peace.

“Bolivarian Peace Diplomacy is our path and our proposal to prevent and tackle wars and conflicts among nations,” he said.

Arreaza recalled, “In 2018, under the Venezuelan Chairmanship, the Non-Aligned Movement proposed at the UN to establish April 24 as Multilateralism and Peace Diplomacy Day, an initiative approved by the UN General Assembly, accepting this concept as a contribution and method to ensure global stability and security”.

According to the Secretary, today more than ever, the international system must commit to dialogue, diplomacy and respect for international law and the rights of peoples, addressing the structural and original causes of potential or ongoing wars and conflicts without fear or pressure.

“As Mahatma Gandhi told us: there is no way to peace, peace is the way,” he closed.

In this regard, the International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace is celebrated in April. This was established by the United Nations in 2018, with the aim of promoting understanding and cessation of conflicts among nations.

In Venezuela, Bolivarian Peace Diplomacy has made significant progress. The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, highlighted in January 2024 that the South American nation achieved great victories through this method in 2023.

“We managed to consolidate the geopolitical vision of the Great Homeland and break the international isolation that imperialism had subjected Venezuela to, although they were never able to isolate us totally, they did a lot of damage”, the Head of State said on that occasion.
