Third world countries need to unite and fight against first world 
injustices, disrespect for international law, discrimination and wars. 
The third world countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America should form 
an alliance in order to “end imperialist domination,” according to the 
Venezuelan vice-president, Jorge Arreaza.

Arreaza made the proposal for a third world alliance during a speech at 
the Asia-Africa Summit in Indonesia Saturday. Speaking as a special 
Latin American representative, Arreasa told the audience that the 
alliance was necessary to overthrow imperialism and end the unipolar 
system imposed on southern nations throughout the years.

“The alliance between Asia, Africa and Latin America today is not only 
necessary, it is indispensable,” said Arreaza. “From the South, we will 
determine, freely, the future of the world for the people.”

The vice president also reminded the audience that former Venezuelan 
president Hugo Chavez also advocated strongly for a need for the three 
continents to unite in order to fight against harmful western policies 
and forms of control.

“Today is not, as then, simply about not being aligned with power and a 
sphere of influence. Today, the challenge is much greater... That is, to 
not be aligned with injustice, ... and to fight against wars, disrespect 
for international law, and to fight against colonialism in all its 
forms, combat hunger, to not be aligned with discrimination nor 
domination in all its forms,” said Arreaza.

As an example of third world unity, Arreaza reiterated Venezuela's 
solidarity with Palestine, which has experienced significant oppression 
under Israel's expansionist policies.
