Maduro stressed that the people of Venezuela ‘must pay the consequences of an imbalance caused by the major Western economies, who have polluted and continue to pollute the planet for the benefit of a few’.

Moreover, the Venezuelan leader also highlighted the importance of preserving the Amazon, noting that the responsibility for this lies with all countries of South America.
