The Ministry of Popular
Power for Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of
Venezuela and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development of
São Tomé and Príncipe signed this Thursday a Memorandum of Understanding for strategic
cooperation in various areas of interest, with which the
African country officially joined the Agroalba project.
“We thank the
Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development of São Tomé and Príncipe,
Abel Da Silva Bom Jesús, for his words and visit to our country to
consolidate this important agreement. Together we will work towards
food sovereignty and sustainable development, which will allow us to strengthen our
ties and build a prosperous future,” said Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil.
The
Agroalba project was created to award 10,000 hectares of Venezuelan
productive land to companies from participating countries, to
allow each participating nation to develop productive proposals in partnership with
Venezuela, to take advantage of the geographical and climatic diversity of the South American country.
The initiative
seeks to transform the agricultural, livestock and poultry sector, as well as promote productive
investment and food sovereignty in Venezuela and allied nations of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples
of Our America — Peoples'
Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) and Petrocaribe.
