Caracas, SANA – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said his country supports the Syrian people and government in their struggle against terrorism.

He expressed this support as he was addressing a ceremony to award the Chinese Ambassador in Caracas Zhao Rongxia the Medal of Simon Bolivar on the occasion of ending his mission in Venezuela.

President Maduro warned that terrorism has become a threat to the entire world and particularly Europe, calling on the latter to reconsider its “wrong” policy toward Syria.

He noted that Caracas has made contacts with several Arab and European capitals calling for work to stop the terrorism targeting Syria, saying the chance is still there for the NATO and Europe to prevent a repetition of the Libyan scenario in Syria, whose repercussions threaten the whole Europe.

As he also called for work to find a political solution in Syria, the Venezuelan President renewed his rejection of all forms of external interference in the internal affairs of countries.

President Maduro expressed his shock at the scene of thousands of Syrians getting displaced by the terrorist groups, stressing the need to work by all possible means to end the Syrian people’s suffering.
