India Rebukes US Military Strike on Venezuela
(MENAFN) India issued a sharp rebuke Monday over the US military assault on Venezuela and the forcible seizure of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife during Saturday's raid.
In a diplomatically calibrated declaration released Sunday, the Indian Foreign Ministry confirmed it is actively tracking developments in the petroleum-rich South American nation.
"Recent developments in Venezuela are a matter of deep concern," the Indian Foreign Ministry stated, emphasizing the South Asian power "reaffirms its support to the well-being and safety" of the Venezuelan people.
"We call upon all concerned to address issues peacefully through dialogue, ensuring peace and stability of the region," the ministry added.
Notably, India's statement avoided explicitly naming the United States.
Fellow BRICS nations including Russia, China, Brazil, and Iran have denounced the US intervention in the South American country. "Venezuela should be guaranteed the right to determine its own destiny without external interference," the Russian Foreign Ministry declared Saturday. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva proclaimed that the bombings and capture of Maduro "cross an unacceptable line."
The Chinese Foreign Ministry asserted, "Such hegemonic acts of the U.S. seriously violate international law and Venezuela's sovereignty, and threaten peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region."
Sunday's Indian Foreign Ministry statement revealed authorities are maintaining communication with members of the Indian community in Venezuela and would "continue to provide all possible assistance." Approximately 50 Indian citizens reside in the country alongside 30 individuals of Indian heritage.
India's Reliance Industries imports 2 million barrels of oil monthly from Venezuela, while state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) maintains ownership interests in the San Cristobal and Carabobo-1 petroleum projects within the nation.
