Caracas, August 19 (RHC)-- Venezuelan parliamentarians led by the Minister of People's Power for Foreign Affairs, Carlos Faría, held on Wednesday a meeting with the Mexican Parliamentary Friendship Group with the aim of promoting mutual cooperation ties.

In his Twitter account, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister said that "we held a fruitful meeting with the Mexican Parliamentary Friendship Group where we reiterated our principles of cooperation, solidarity and adherence to Peace Diplomacy as the only way to continue strengthening our cooperation dynamics with brotherly peoples."

He added that during the meeting they explained details to the Mexican legislators related to "the political, social and economic process led by our President (of the Republic) Nicolás Maduro, highlighting the courage and dignity of our people, who continue defending their sovereignty against the interference of the United States."

Likewise, the Minister of Foreign Affairs thanked Mexico for its support after its exclusion, together with Nicaragua and Cuba, from the Summit of the Americas, held last June.

President Nicolás Maduro added when referring to the position of his Mexican counterpart Andrés Manuel López Obrador during his visit to the United States that "the extraordinary solid, clear, diplomatic and firm position of President López Obrador on all issues of economic life, migration, social life and the political relationship between the U.S. and Mexico", said the president at the time.

Last May, the Venezuelan parliament appointed friendship groups with several countries such as France, Cuba, Russia, China, Iran and other countries with which it intends to promote legislative exchange.
