Venezuela Urges International Conference against US Aggressions

Caracas, Apr 17 (Prensa Latina) Venezuela's ambassador to the United Nations (UN), Samuel Moncada, called on countries victim of U.S. coercive measures to a denunciation conference, local media reported Wednesday.

The diplomat, in an interview with the multinational channel Telesur, called for a great international meeting to discuss and develop strategies to counteract these actions.

According to the Venezuelan representative, more than 40 countries in the world face all kinds of unilateral sanctions which could be called 'crimes of economic aggressions'.

The world must understand these kinds of wars can be fought successfully, but it needs the help of the international community.

United we can defeat those arbitrary abuses of the United States,' the diplomat said.

Washington has a steady campaign of aggression against the South American country through economic sanctions against state officials, trying to discredit the constitutional government of President Nicolas Maduro.

The diplomat insisted these actions foster 'a coup d'etat along with the Venezuelan extreme right and with the support of the Government of Colombia and other complacent states'.

We should create a great international conference to combat this type of financial aggression on a global scale, which is a new weapon,' Moncada said.
