In a heartwarming exchange, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro celebrated the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between their nations. 🇨🇳🤝🇻🇪
President Xi highlighted the 'iron-clad' friendship that has blossomed over the past five decades. \"China and Venezuela are not just partners; we're family,\" he emphasized. \"Together, we've stood strong through the changing tides of the international landscape, defending fairness, justice, and the rights of developing countries.\"
Throwback to last September, when President Maduro made a successful state visit to China, the two leaders elevated their relationship to an all-weather strategic partnership. Talk about leveling up! 🚀
\"We're ready to keep the momentum going,\" Xi added. \"Let's continue our tradition of friendship and make even greater contributions to world peace and development. Together, we'll build a community with a shared future for mankind.\"
Maduro was all in, expressing his admiration for China's journey. \"Since we established ties 50 years ago, our relationship has made incredible strides,\" he said. \"The all-weather strategic partnership is a big deal—like hitting the jackpot!\" 🎰
He didn't hold back on his support either. \"Venezuela firmly backs China in safeguarding its national sovereignty and opposes any attempts to contain it. We're excited to dive into the Belt and Road cooperation and the global initiatives proposed by President Xi. Let's keep this friendship train rolling!\" 🚂
Maduro also shared his confidence in China's future: \"Under President Xi's wise leadership, I have no doubt that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is on the horizon.\"
