“This meeting focuses especially on commercial cooperation and diplomatic alliance, in the context of the approach of the 80th anniversary of the establishment of ties between our peoples,” said the Venezuelan Foreign Minister in a message posted on his social networks.

In addition, “we discussed preparations to commemorate Victory Day on March 9, an emblematic date on which the Red Army achieved the defeat of fascism in Europe,” he added.
