The Minister of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Yván Gil, held a telephone contact this Thursday with his counterpart from the Republic of Angola, Tete Antonio, to strengthen binational cooperation ties in strategic areas.

During the meeting, Foreign Minister Gil, on behalf of President Nicolás Maduro and the Venezuelan people, congratulated “Angola for assuming the pro tempore Presidency of the African Union, a recognition in the year of the 50th Anniversary of its Independence”.

In a message posted on his social networks, the Venezuelan diplomat highlighted Angola 's “leadership in promoting unity and stability in Africa, highlighting its efforts for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan.”

He also explained that in the conversation with Antonio “we reviewed the state of our bilateral and multilateral cooperation, reaffirming our commitment to advance in areas such as energy and mining, as well as to strengthening the relationship between CELAC and the African Union.”

He ratified mutual support in building a multipolar world, “where the Global South has a strong and dignified voice”.

Relations between Caracas and Luanda are 39 years old in 2025, driven by the arrival of Eternal Commander Hugo Chávez, who established Bolivarian Peace Diplomacy as a fundamental purpose, to strengthen South-South Cooperation, and prioritized relations with the countries of Mother Africa.
