JAKARTA, Jan 5 (Bernama) -- Indonesia has expressed grave concern over the latest developments in Venezuela, following reports that the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Indonesia’s Foreign Ministry said the government is closely monitoring the situation, stressing that respect for sovereignty, diplomacy and international law must remain the cornerstone of efforts to address the crisis.
It warned that any use or threat of force could set a dangerous precedent in international relations and undermine regional stability.
“It is imperative that the international community respects the right and the will of the people of Venezuela to exercise their sovereignty and to determine their own path and future,” the ministry said in a post on its X account.
Indonesia urged all parties to exercise self-restraint, return to dialogue and fully respect international law, including principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter.
US forces launched a military operation in Caracas in the early hours of Jan 3, capturing Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and flying them to New York, where they are expected to face federal charges.
