Venezuela can take its own decisions: Govt

Kathmandu, Jan. 29:

The government on Tuesday said that Venezuela should resolve its political problems within its constitutional parameters and without any external interference.

 “In line with its principled position, Nepal believes that internal political problems of a country need to be resolved within its constitutional parameters in a democratic manner, free from external interferences,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

The people of Venezuela have the ultimate authority to take a decision on the country’s political and constitutional course, it said.

The MoFA said that the government had been closely following the recent political developments in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

“We stand for peace, stability and unity of Venezuela and call for resolution of differences through peaceful means,” read the statement.
