BEIJING, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- China called on the United States to release Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife at once, said a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson on Sunday.
The spokesperson made the remarks in response to media reports that on Saturday, the United States sent forces to seize Maduro and his wife and took them out of the country, and that the governments of multiple countries have voiced opposition.
China expresses grave concern over the U.S. forcibly seizing Maduro and his wife and taking them out of the country, said the spokesperson, adding that the U.S. move is in clear violation of international law, basic norms in international relations, and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
