Caracas, Feb 25 (Xinhua/UNI): Venezuela's border with Colombia was calm on Sunday, after an intense day over the attempted delivery of unauthorized foreign aid, a top official said.
Diosdado Cabello, vice president of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela, reported "absolute calm" from the border region during a flyover.
"Reviewing the Venezuelan border. Absolute calm, peace and tranquility," Cabello said in an aircraft flying over Tachira state.
He also expressed confidence that the Venezuelan and international opposition "enter into rationality and understand that the only way our people want is the path of peace."
On Saturday, government opponents gathered at key border crossings to defy the ban on the delivery of U.S. humanitarian aid, which authorities warned was a pretext to allow U.S. military intervention.
