China has urged the United States to immediately release Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro following a US military strike on Caracas that reportedly led to his capture.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the Chinese government condemned Washington’s actions and called for the safety of the Venezuelan leader and his wife.
“China calls on the US to ensure the personal safety of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, release them at once, stop toppling the government of Venezuela,” the Chinese foreign ministry said, describing the operation as a “clear violation of international law”.
The appeal follows reports that US forces carried out a strike on the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, during which President Maduro was taken into custody.
