The statesman warned on the need of unity of the countries of the bloc to face with success the international situation: “Either the region strengthens its union and moves together as a single ship against global blocs, or simply they will swallow one by one and we all end in the same mud of the division of the 19th century.”

Maduro also recalled the transcendence of President Hugo Chavez for the establishment of CELAC, and congratulated the Cuban people for that special victory of the Latin American and Caribbean unity, which he described as a victory of the dimension Liberator Simon Bolivar and Cuban national hero Jose Marti dreamt.
