In its first response to the ongoing political developments in Venezuela, India’s Ministry of External Affairs on Friday extended its support to President Nicolas Maduro by indicating that it does not support interference in the nation’s domestic affairs.
Echoing the views of Russia and China, India has stated that it should be left to the people of Venezuela to decide who their president should be.
Guaido, backed by US President Donald Trump and a few other global powers, argued that the country’s constitution allows him to assume interim power despite Maduro refusing to step down.”China always upholds the principle of non-interference in other counties’ internal affairs and opposes foreign interference in Venezuela’s affairs. We hope that the international community can jointly create favourable conditions for that,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said on Thursday.
