Venezuelan Foreign Minister Accuses Lima Group Countries Of Law Breaches

MEXICO CITY (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 09th December, 2018) Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza has criticized the Lima Group countries, accusing them of law violations, in light of his Peruvian counterpart's suggestion that the Lima Group should sever diplomatic relations with Caracas.

Earlier in the week, Peruvian Foreign Minister Nestor Popolizio said he planned to suggest that Lima Group countries cut off their diplomatic ties with Venezuela. The issue is set to be discussed at the group's meeting in the Colombian capital of Bogota on December 19.

�"The Lima cartel: some governments have relation to drug trafficking or illegal armed gangs, other governments are so corrupt that their former presidents are imprisoned, many presidents [of the Lima Group countries] are under investigation," Arreaza wrote on his Twitter blog.

The Lima Group was formed in 2017 with an aim to settle the Venezuelan crisis and counter human rights violations in the country.
