    President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, received Wang Dongming, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China and special envoy of Chinese President Xi Jinping, at the Miraflores Palace (Presidential Press)

Chinese President Xi Jinping sent Wang Dongming, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, to attend the inauguration of Nicolas Maduro for his third presidential term, Xinhua reports.

This gesture reflects Beijing's commitment to its "all-weather strategic partnership" with Venezuela, despite Western pressure on Maduro's government.

According to Xinhua, Wang conveyed President Xi's "cordial greetings and good wishes" to Maduro and congratulated him on his re-election.

During their discussions, both officials reaffirmed the importance of enhancing their partnership. Wang stated that China is willing to "develop" its friendship with Venezuela and "push forward" bilateral relations.

Maduro reciprocated by asking Wang to convey his "highest respect and sincere greetings" to Xi Jinping, while expressing Venezuela's readiness to "lift bilateral ties to a new level."

China and Venezuela's relationship, which marked its 50th anniversary in 2024, has been characterized by mutual cooperation in areas such as trade, energy, and technology. The bond has deepened as Venezuela continues to face economic sanctions from Western nations.

The ceremony was also attended by Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega, reflecting the support of regional allies.

Broader Diplomatic Context

Wang's visit builds on previous diplomatic exchanges, including the December 2024 trip by Venezuela's Executive Vice President and Minister of Petroleum, Delcy Rodríguez, to China. That visit focused on strengthening cooperation in energy and economic development, further reinforcing the strategic partnership.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also congratulated Maduro on his re-election, signaling a shared alignment among nations resisting Western pressure.
