Bolivia Not Supporting Montevideo Declaration On Venezuela - Top Diplomat

MONTEVIDEO (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 08th February, 2019) Bolivia has not supported the joint declaration, adopted at the Montevideo meeting of the International Contact Group for Venezuela, Bolivian Foreign Minister Diego Pary told Sputnik, adding that it was the Venezuelans who should find solutions to their problems themselves.

"There should not be any imposed solution. We should not tell Venezuelans what they should do. They are independent and they have a right for self-determination ... They should find solutions to their problems themselves ... We do not support this declaration but Bolivia has joined the Montevideo mechanism. Bolivia will continue participating in this contact group. We do not support only this declaration," Pary said.

"We believe in dialogue. We are convinced that dialogue is the only mechanism which will allow us effectively find a solution. We also believe that the dialogue should be like an open agenda and that Venezuelans should determine this agenda," the top diplomat pointed out.
