Here are the reactions to his historic win from around the world:

Cuba

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said Monday he spoke with Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro to congratulate him on a "historic" victory.

"I spoke with brother Nicolas Maduro to convey warm congratulations on behalf of the party, the government and the Cuban people for the historic electoral triumph achieved, after an impressive showing by the Venezuelan people," Diaz-Canel wrote on social media platform X.

"Nicolas Maduro, my brother, your victory, which is that of the Bolivarian and Chavista people, has cleanly and unequivocally defeated the pro-imperialist opposition. They also defeated the regional, interventionist and Monroist right. The people spoke and the Revolution won," he stressed.

Nicaragua

The Nicaraguan government, for its part, issued a message from President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo to President Maduro, congratulating him on "the great victory achieved by this heroic people for the eternal leader on his birthday," referring to the 70th anniversary of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez's birth.
