Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said it was 'time for the Global South' to take charge, during his speech to the UN General Assembly High-level General Debate on Tuesday.
"Our call to the free and peace loving peoples of the world is to strengthen unity in the face of those who want to divide us in order to achieve their plan of Neo-colonial domination. It is time for the Global South. It is time for the longed for new world order. It is time to consolidate this new multipolar and multicentric world of peace and economic prosperity free of hegemonies," he said.
He also accused NATO allies of bringing 'war and terrorism to Great Russia'.
"[Russia] as history has taught us, will always be victorious. NATO's expansion also threatens peace in South America with the established installation of military bases, with the complicity of the governments of Argentina and Ecuador," he claimed.
Moscow has also blamed NATO expansionism for fuelling the conflict in Ukraine, which Kiev and Western allies reject. Gil also referred to an alleged US plot against his country's president.
"Although Washington denies involvement this time, they were caught red-handed. Investigations into the latest aggression plots have shown that several US and European mercenaries, including an active US military officer specialising in terrorist and destabilisation operations, were behind the post-electoral violence. These criminals have confessed that they intended to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro, the executive vice president and other senior Venezuelan state officials," he claimed.
The US has strongly denied the reports of a CIA plan to kill Maduro, with the State Department saying it was 'categorically false'. The UNGA High-level General Debate continues in New York until September 30.
