Chadian Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Sabre Fadoul spoke with his Venezuelan counterpart by telephone on Saturday, expressing "deep concerns" following the U.S. military action against Venezuela, according to a statement.

Fadoul voiced his deep concern over the situation and reiterated Chad's firm commitment to respect for international law, on which the existence of a just and peaceful world order depends, the statement said.

The United States launched a military strike on Venezuela on Saturday, during which Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were captured and flown out of the country.

"Chad recalls the importance of preserving peace, stability and the territorial integrity of Venezuela in a bid to avoid unnecessary suffering of the brotherly people of Venezuela," the statement said.
