In an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency in Caracas, Venezuela, Maduro said: "Venezuela-China relations are based on sincere and mutual trust and fruitful common development, and are a model of state-to-state relations in the 21st century."
He said that since 2015, Venezuela has been subjected to "illegal and immoral unilateral sanctions" by the United States and its allies, and its economy, manufacturing industry and people’s livelihood have been greatly hit. Thanks to the United efforts and strong resistance of the CPC Central Committee and the people, the national economy will gradually pick up from 2021. Venezuela has also successively foiled the attempts of the United States and the West to subvert the Venezuelan government through the "color revolution" and illegal armed infiltration, and achieved peace and stability.

Maduro said that he sincerely thanked China for its firm support when Venezuela appealed to international organizations and condemned the illegal sanctions imposed by the United States and the West.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, Venezuela was unable to obtain the needed vaccine from the international market due to sanctions and blockades imposed by the United States and the West. Maduro said that he was especially grateful to China for providing vaccines to countries all over the world, including Venezuela.

At the same time, China has adhered to multilateralism, actively promoted South-South cooperation and promoted the establishment of a multipolar world, which has played a key role in promoting world peace and development.
