The Minister of Popular Power of Foreign Trade, Coromoto Godoy Calderón, participated in the installation of the Binational Business Meeting “Frontier Vision 2025”, held in Cucuta, capital of Northern Santander, and organized by the Venezuelan Colombo Chamber as a key space for boosting opportunities, exchange, economic growth and productive investment on the border.

The Minister, accompanied by the Venezuelan Ambassador to Colombia, Carlos Martínez Mendoza; and the Superintendent of Special Economic Zones, Johann Álvarez, conveyed the greetings and commitment of President Nicolás Maduro to the creation of a zone of peace, development and shared prosperity.

In his speech to a wide presence of the public and business sectors of both countries, Godoy reaffirmed the will and determination of the Bolivarian Government to work together with President Gustavo Petro to make this initiative an example of union and fraternity for the region and the world.

“Latin America and the Caribbean was declared a Zone of Peace. Today, with this meeting, we are contributing in a concrete way to that great purpose with the first Economic Zone of Peace, Union and Binational Development, inspired by the legacy of El Libertador Simón Bolívar,” he said.

During the day, Godoy emphasized that a good commercial and economic relationship between both peoples contributes decisively to peace in the region.

The meeting took place within the framework of the third anniversary of the re-establishment of diplomatic relations and the reopening of the border between Venezuela and Colombia. It also takes place with a high-level academic agenda and a commercial sample.

As a result, representatives of chambers of commerce and businessmen from various sectors agreed on a joint roadmap to address critical issues, boost production, facilitate investments and energize binational trade. This plan marks a firm step towards the materialization of the Binational Zone of Peace, Economic and Social Development, with broad political and social support.
