UNITAS 2018 & VENEZUELA'S REACTION.

Within the framework of strengthening new ties and reciprocal dealings, The Venezuelan Republic of Venezuela made a series of major agreements with different countries during the month of September, highlighting among these those established with the People's Republic of China.

In this great context, today has arrived in Venezuelan ports the Hospital Ship Ark of Peace, thus activating a great strategic response to begin to face the economic, financial and geopolitical blockade imposed by the U.S. and the European Union, which has hindered the arrival to the nation of food, medicine and other important inputs and necessary for the health care of the inhabitants of this nation.

The magic of this tactic is the way in which the Venezuelan executive government and its population respond to the incessant rain of threats generated by the repetitive chorus of reciprocal arguments from the OAS, the Government of Colombia and others supported by the US interference movements, such as those put into practice during UNITAS 2018.

The Chinese Hospital Ship, He ping Fang Zhou; whose translation is the Ark of Peace, is located on the Venezuelan coasts as a result of the business established in the 28 Cooperation Agreements, between the executive train of President Nicolás Maduro representing Venezuela and the People's Republic of China arriving at a new stage in the relationship between the two countries. In this way, an operation is established that is entrenched in the exchange of knowledge, the field of medicine and contextualized in the Combined Strategic Comprehensive Operation for the defense and sovereignty of the Bolivarian nation.

In this way, the deepening of military relations with China is continued and the next visit to the Asian giant will take place. The Hospital Ship arrived to the Venezuelan Territorial Sea escorted by the Ocean Patrol PO13 Yekuana and Light Attack Aircraft K8W, according to the FANB, and integrally it will mainly join activities in the health sector.

The Strategic Operational Command of the Bolivarian National Armed Force (CEOFANB), reported a meeting with the commission of the Hospital Ship of the People's Republic of China on July 13 to coordinate details of the Combined Operation, establishing working links as allies for the protection of the Bolivarian nation.

It highlights the fact of actions linked to cooperation and diplomacy activities, against those who let themselves be led by the drums of war and their agorizing voices and military interventionism, thus showing a true way to create bonds of union and international relations, in the context of health the ship is excellently equipped with medical teams to carry out multiple actions for the benefit of citizens, this ship is thus integrated into an exercise of interventions in military hospitals of the country to be carried out in the last week of September.

It is necessary to remember that 13 countries participated from August 30 to September 12 in the Military Naval Exercise Unitas 2018, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, United Kingdom, Dominican Republic, United States and Colombia, being Cartagena de Indias the host country of this year, from whose exercises the Venezuelan nation is excluded. The naval exercises are aimed at blocking Venezuela in order to prevent the entry of essential goods, disrespecting international agreements and laws by acting against a democratic country with a legitimately elected government.

The U.S. Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, was in charge of ensuring that UNITAS naval exercises were carried out in Colombian waters. He also made visits to countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Chile. They preceded tours of other U.S. officials with the same agenda centered in Venezuela to incite at the South American level the intensification of diplomatic and economic attacks, in the context of the international financial blockade that already exists against the South American nation.

The arrival of the ship in Colombia was denounced at the time by Bolivian President Evo Morales as a covert invasion of Latin America by Donald Trump's government, the USNS Comnfort heliport has the capacity to land warships and capacity for more than a thousand people.

Continuing the unconventional war, U.S. officials continue the series of visits to Latin America, to talk about Venezuela and incite the intensification of diplomatic and economic attacks, in the context of the international financial blockade that already exists against the South American nation.

U.S. officials, such as Ambassador Nikki Haley, visited different latitudes, continuing with their war agenda based on rhetorical arguments presented at the ONU, where the Venezuelan nation is accused without any proof of being under a dictatorial regime and of being a narco-state.

The cooperative agreements of Venezuela and the People's Republic of China will allow not only to carry out thousands of surgical interventions, but also to begin to establish relations with strategic allies that will help safeguard Venezuela's intercontinental and maritime territory from any attempt to carry out the U.S. government's interfering threats.

The Venezuelan state is consolidated in the direct and protagonist government, hand in hand with the people and with social investment, in spite of the economic blockade, social aid programs continue, such as the Great Mission Housing Venezuela surpassing the 2,000,000 million homes granted, the aid of uniforms and school supplies for the new school year with free public education and international aid for fuel at subsidized prices, these being only some of the many benefits of the Bolivarian revolution.
