Last year we were here and just like a year ago, I express our solidarity with the people of Palestine as well as with the Arab peoples,” said Villegas, according to information published by the Ministry for Culture through its account on the social network Instagram.

Villegas also highlighted the good relations of cooperation and friendship with the host country. “Venezuela and Egypt have a lot to give to the world's balance,” he said.

Venezuela is participating with an important exhibition of its literary production at the Cairo International Book Fair.
