Caracas, September 23 (RHC)-- The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry has issued a statement categorically rejecting the illegal sanctions imposed by Canada on 40 Venezuelan government officials, including President Nicolas Maduro.

The statement says this hostile action, whose only purpose is to attack Maduro's government, breaks international law which is fundamental for the promotion of economic and social development, as well as for peace and security.

The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry said the objective is "to undermine the peace and social stability achieved in our nation after the formation of the National Constituent Assembly, as well as continued efforts in favor of dialogue and understanding."

The Canadian measures mirror those imposed on Venezuela by the United States which target Maduro and other officials. Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump also placed renewed sanctions on Venezuela’s state oil company, while issuing threats of military intervention against the country.
