Caracas, May 25 (RHC)-- Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro stressed on Tuesday that the path of Latin America and the Caribbean should be inclusion instead of discrimination and exclusion of countries such as Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, as promoted by the United States at the Summit of the Americas, which will be held from June 6th through the 10th.
During the closing ceremony of the International Colloquium for the Bicentennial of the Battle of Pichincha, President Maduro said that the path in the region is guided by democracy, the right of peoples to express their opinions, to build their destiny, which is why the Venezuelan government rejects the exclusion applied by the U.S. Administration.
"More than 25 governments reject the exclusion of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua from the Summit of the Americas, whatever they do in Washington, our voice will be present at the Los Angeles Summit, that Summit is the Summit of protest against exclusion", emphasized the head of State.
The Executive added that his Argentine counterpart Alberto Fernandez, who presides over the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac), is reactivating all the councils of ministers, in order to achieve unity in the region and confront the exclusive intentions of the White House.
"Our manifest destiny is to confront imperialism and defeat it on the battlefield, no matter what happens, whatever it may be, in any circumstance, victory will always belong to us," the Venezuelan leader asserted.
Continuing with the importance of integration, the Head of State emphasized that the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) will also re-emerge with the strength and potential of the liberators, with the goal of rebuilding the current history of the 21st century.
"It was our father Hugo Chávez who turned history into a living force, a transforming force, a creative force of values, of conscience. Because if there is something we know very well today is that we are part of the Patria Grande."
