Russia and China joined Cuba, Iran, North Korea and several other countries at the United Nations on Thursday to show support for Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro in his showdown with the United States.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza told reporters the newly-formed support group would take action in the coming days "to raise awareness around the dangers that our people currently face."
Arreaza did not provide details of the planned action but called on all UN nations to "join us in defending international law as the only guarantor for humanity's peaceful coexistence."
Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told reporters that Venezuela was planning an international conference to show "support (for) the legal government of Venezuela."
