India on Friday refused to be part of any efforts to recognise self-declared president of Venezuela and asserted that it is for the people of that country to find political solution obliquely rejecting outside interference in a country's internal affairs.

In response to queries on the situation in Venezuela, MEA Official Spokesperson said, "We are closely following the emerging situation in Venezuela. We are of the view that it is for the people of Venezuela to find political solution to resolve their differences through constructive dialogue and discussion without resorting to violence."

"We believe democracy, peace and security in Venezuela are of paramount importance for the progress and prosperity of the people of Venezuela. India and Venezuela enjoy close and cordial relations," the spokesperson pointed out.

Venezuela is a key supplier of crude oil to India and has also joined the International Solar Alliance. India has invested in oil assets of Venezuela.

The embattled government of Venezuela struck back against its opponents on Thursday, winning strong support from the country’s armed forces and the solid backing of Russia, which warned the United States not to intervene. Opposition leader Juan Guaidó who has declared himself as the President has been supported by USA and few other Latin American governments. US Vice President and Secretary of State have extended their support to Opposition efforts.

The Russian President telephoned Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and “emphasized that destructive external interference is a gross violation of the fundamental norms of international law,” according to a statement on the Kremlin’s official website.

Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala and the Organization of American States have also recognized Guaidó as the country’s leader. Mexico and others in the region have not, including Cuba and Bolivia, longtime allies of Maduro.

Another massive u-turn and backstabbing by India.

What kind of an ally is India to the US and the Western world? It doesn't recognise Israel at the UN vote and now it doesn't support Western stance on Venezuela?

India wants to enjoy all the perks, but does not want to support its allies in time of need. This is pure hypocrisy and double standards. You are either fully on board and when the master demands obedience it needs to be forthcoming. You cannot have it both ways. You want American jobs and American weapons, but you don't want their burden.


Just remember that Trump is watching LOL

India is 1.3 billion people. India does not kowtow to anyone.

You want American jobs and American weapons, but you don't want their burden.

Su-57 > F-35. Sorry Americans.

Just remember that Trump is watching LOL

He ain't nobody.

You seems to be a negative person...
Being Ally doesn't mean that we fight other countries war...
We have our own stance...

You will lick because as an American ally you are expected to lick.

The Americans don't give you jobs, trade incentives and weaponry as charity. Those are the rules. Don't play double games.

You don't have your own stance. The Americans do you favors and you are expected to deliver. Now deliver. You have played this duplicitous game of appeasment for too long. You have zero loyalty to your allies. You pick and choose to your liking. That is not how a true ally behaves. A true ally stands shoulder to shoulder when it matters most. You clearly lack the loyalty to do so.

India is not Americas biggest non NATO ally (like someone else ) to do all their dirty jobs like a mistress. LOL

We have our own independent foreign policies wrt every countries around the globe. And anyone who (including Mr. Trump) question our foreign policies can take this in their rear.

I understand your experience.....n frustration...both... My friend...Just because you have licked them....or are licking China....doesn't mean we will do the same.

This is India we have an Independent Foreign policy and roots of NAM were sown sown in our country.

We signed nuclear deal with US. It suited us...See the Irony, India has started making nuclear business with Aussies, Russians, Canadians.... While Yanks are still waiting.

We are not going to lick or make an enemy... International Politics doesn't work that way....

We deal with Iran and Irael together.... We deal with China and Japan Together, we deal with US and Russia Together.

That's the Precise reason why Modi gets Red Carpet in KSA and clicks Selfies in UAE.
