This Thursday, November 28 , the Minister of People's Power for Energy and Petroleum, Delcy Rodríguez, reaffirmed that Venezuela is on its way to becoming a gas-exporting country.

“Very soon, in a few years you will see it, in the year 2026-2027, Venezuela will become a gas-exporting country, we will be exporting our first gas molecule,” he said, stressing that despite this, the “essential thing is to guarantee gas for our development, for our industries and our production processes.”

He reaffirmed that today the topic of the oil and gas industry is still important, since the projections for the years 2040-2060, “oil and gas remain one of the fundamental pillars in the international energy matrix and especially in the new poles that are being configured”.

In this regard, he mentioned that part of these poles is the BRICS group, “ which today has a large participation in the world economy and which is already surpassing what was the group of the so-called Seven, which is already a group in economic decline and no longer has a significant share in the world's gross domestic product and the world economy, there is a new actor and that new act is called the BRICS”.

For this reason, he reaffirmed that Venezuela is committed to training for the good use of our resources, “such as creating value chains, supply logistics, etc., for national development,” he said.

“Venezuela will continue to play a predominant, important and paramount role, which is why Commander (Hugo) Chávez's wise decision to think about a new, multicentric and multipolar world, and the decision of President Nicolás Maduro to pave the way for this new geopolitics,” he said.
