The Minister of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs of
the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Yván Gil, participated this Monday in an
activity commemorating the 15th anniversary of the Foundation of the Plurinational State of Bolivia.
From Kampala, the capital of Uganda, where he is participating in the 3rd Southern
Summit of Heads of State and Government of the G77 and China, Foreign Minister
Gil joined other of his counterparts present at the international event, led by the Bolivian Foreign Minister, Celinda Sosa Lunda, to celebrate such an important date.
Through his account on the social network X, the
Venezuelan diplomat stressed that the Plurinational State of Bolivia “continues to be an
example and symbol of diversity, unity and respect for different cultures and
traditions that coexist in harmony. It's a reminder that inclusion and
equality are fundamental to progress and peaceful coexistence.”
On behalf of President Nicolás Maduro and the people of
Venezuela, he congratulated “the brother Bolivian people on this historic date and the
enormous progress achieved since then.”
On January 22, 2009, under the mandate of the indigenous leader and
then president of the Andean country, Evo Morales, Bolivia ceased to be a
republic and became a new form of nation, known as the
Plurinational State, capable of including its 36 indigenous peoples with whom 41% of the population is
related, according to the 2012 census.
