【Maduro: China and Russia, the brother countries, are superpowers without imperial ambitions】
On October 3, 2025, in Caracas, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro stated at the closing ceremony of the International Conference on "Colonialism, Neocolonialism and Territorial Invasions by Western Imperialism":
Our brother countries China and Russia are becoming superpowers, but China and Russia do not have imperial ambitions or a superior ideology compared to other countries in the world. Historically, empires have been based on a sense of superiority, placing themselves above other nations, which is manifested in colonialism, slavery, exploitation, and violence.
Maduro added:
Followers of the superior ideology from the North are annoyed by the emergence of a multipolar, multi-centered world, as imperialist hegemonism is gradually ending, withering, and eventually disappearing. For Venezuela and many other countries, freedom, independence, dignity, and sovereignty have no choice, because the choice is between independence and a colonial status.
