HAVANA C.J. Beathard Jersey , Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Elections for a National Constituent Assembly (ANC) in Venezuela represent a "resounding blow" to U.S. President Donald Trump and his allies, Venezuela's ambassador to Cuba said Tuesday.
"Elections for the ANC had a very high turnout and it is a resounding blow for Mr. Trump and his allies in the region. The U.S. failed in its strategy to provoke violence in our country and derail the elections," said Ali Rodriguez at a press conference.
More than 8 million Venezuelans voted on Sunday to elect 537 of the total 545 members of the ANC, according to the country's electoral authorities. The ANC is tasked to draft a new constitution to strengthen social protections, communal programs and a diversified economy, among other goals.

Venezuela's opposition groups, with full support of the White House and other regional governments, had campaigned and protested for months to prevent the elections from taking place on Sunday, but failed, said the ambassador.
Rodriguez expressed optimism that the ANC could put the country back on track, saying "now comes the economic recovery of the country."
"We must go after the main problems Solomon Thomas Jersey , particularly the chronic shortage of food and medicines," he added.
Participation in the elections signals that Venezuelans want to overcome the political crisis, as Rodriguez sees it.
"Venezuelans are peaceful and reject violence promoted by the right-wing opposition. With the approval of the constituent assembly, new measures to return to calm will be implemented," said the former foreign affairs minister.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro proposed the constitutional initiative in May, saying it would help to resolve the political deadlock between the country's leftist and right-wing factions.
The right-wing opposition coalition Eli Harold 49ers Jersey , the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD), boycotted Sunday's vote, claiming that the ANC was an attempt by Maduro to consolidate power.

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- Boo Kuang Loon, a Malacca-born businessman, had always wanted to contribute to the Malaysian city's cultural richness. He never thought that a letter to Zhang Yimou Jaquiski Tartt 49ers Jersey , the renowned Chinese director, would make his dream come true.
In early 2013, when traveling in China, Boo was stunned by "Impression Liu Sanjie," an outdoor theme production directed by Zhang.
He then wrote an email to the director, who is well known for a series of works including "Hero" and "The Great Wall Arik Armstead 49ers Jersey ," expressing his hope that Malacca, a historical state in southern Malaysia, could have the first impression series outside China to tell its local story to the world.
Two months later, Boo got a reply from Zhang. The director visited Malacca and told Boo he also loved the historical state. They decided to replicate the successful cultural show in Malacca.
After more than four years of efforts, "Impression Melaka," with a total cost of 300 million ringgit (72 million U.S. dollars) DeForest Buckner 49ers Jersey , is finally on track to have its premier in the first quarter of 2018.
"It all started with just a letter. I remembered I saw the impression series in Guilin before and I was impressed with how they cast the show, and its effect on the audiences," Boo, chief executive officer of cultural and tourism firm Yong Tai told Xinhua in a recent interview. The group owns the Impression Melaka.
Boo is confident that the impression series will receive an overwhelming response as the show is in line with international cultural standards.
"(It's true) that there are a lot of cultural performances in Malaysia that have not done well. But if we do it according to international standards, I don't think we will fail. That's why we bring in Zhang who is an international director and had conducted the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening and closing ceremonies," Boo said.
He also sees the impression series as an Asian way to show Malacca's culture and story Richard Sherman 49ers Jersey , which will make it outstanding.
"We strongly believe the impression performance will be another new icon of Malacca, becoming a must-visit place for tourists," he said.

According to Boo Jerry Rice 49ers Jersey , the developer is topping off the theater now, and has started the admission procedures, as well as recruiting performers.

Yong Tai is also in negotiation with several travel agencies including those in China to promote ticket sales. Some deals are expected to be realized next month.
"The feedback has been positive so far. We are close to meeting our target," Boo said.
The group forecast the outdoor theme production in Malacca could attract as many as 1.4 million visitors per year.
He estimates that 40 percent of the tourists will be from China, while those from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations countries and Malaysia will account for 20 and 30 percent respectively. The rest wil.
