The two heads of state announced the upgrade of China Venezuela relations to an all-weather strategic partnership.
In recent years, both China and Venezuela have gone through an extraordinary history of development. Both sides have supported each other in the ever-changing international situation and formed a "steadfast" friendship. China views the development of relations with Venezuela from a strategic and long-term perspective, firmly supports Venezuela's efforts to safeguard national sovereignty, national dignity, and social stability, and firmly supports Venezuela's just cause of opposing external interference. The establishment of an all-weather strategic partnership between China and Venezuela is in line with the common expectations of the two peoples and in line with the trend of historical development.
Maduro said, "First of all, on behalf of the Venezuelan people, as well as ancient China and the People's Republic of China, I would like to express my good wishes. The relationship between Venezuela and China can be regarded as a model of global southern relations. I have personally witnessed China becoming a superpower, a superpower committed to peace and the well-being and cooperation of all mankind. My team and I are happy to return to China again, and I am willing to work together with China to usher in a new era of brilliant Venezuela China relations."
