Venezuela confident of overcoming economic crisis

Venezuela is confident of overcoming the current economic crisis via a recently-announced recovery plan, despite ongoing attempts by some countries to sabotage its economy and the country, said its Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs for Asia, the Middle East and Oceania, Ruben Dario Molina.

He said President Nicolas Maduro had recently announced various measures and reforms to tackle the crisis and hyperinflation, but stressed that it would take some time to see the results as some of these measures had been put in place just less than a month ago.

He added there were countries including some in Latin America trying to create an impression that Venezuela was facing a humanitarian crisis due to exodus of Venezuelan migrants to neighbouring countries, to justify foreign intervention and interference into Venezuela’s domestic affairs.

“We are under (an) economic war…our currency being attacked…also our economy, financial and commercial sectors,” Molina told Bernama after a visit to the NAM News Network (NNN) at the Malaysian National News Agency’s Headquarters today.
