The president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, praised his Argentine peerAlberto Fernández, for his statement against the exclusion of his country from the IX Summit of the Americas held in the United States.

In the speech he gave on Thursday in Los Angeles, Fernández reproached the US president, Joe Biden, for Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua were not invited by Washington to participate in the meeting because they are considered dictatorships.

“The president of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, the Argentine president, Alberto Fernández, who is the president of our community, has a firm, clear, courageous speechand put everything in its place, in the name of Latin America and the Caribbean,” Maduro said during an interview with HispanTV in Tehran.

The president stressed that Fernández’s speech was “in front of President Biden himself,” and that the Argentine president took advantage of the meeting to make CELAC’s position clear.

“We have our own community of Latin American and Caribbean states, which will meet in plenary in the coming months,” Maduro said, adding that Fernandez invited Biden “so that you participate without exclusion in our meeting”.

I think that really put the icing on the cake.as we say in Venezuela,” concluded the Venezuelan president.

In his speech at the continental meeting, Fernández raised his differences with President Biden, host of the summit.

“We definitely would have wanted another Summit of the Americas. The silence of the absent challenges us. So that this does not happen again, I would like to make it clear for the future that the fact of being the host country of the Summit does not grant the ability to impose a ‘right of admission’ on the member countries of the continent”, he said.

In another section of the speech, Fernández reminded the heads of state who were listening to him that he was also speaking as president pro tempore of CELAC. “We are the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States”, he sought to emphasize, to later recall that in it “we live together” in diversity “and we respect each other”.

By virtue of that diversity, he took the opportunity to invite Biden to an upcoming meeting of this Latin American and Caribbean organization.
