The Minister for Foreign Affairs and
International Trade of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Félix Plasencia
González, and the Minister of State and Foreign Affairs of the
Portuguese Republic, Paulo Rangel, spoke this Thursday about the bilateral relationship,
in New York, United States, regarding the 81st session of the General
Assembly of the United Nations (UN).
The Venezuelan Foreign Minister thanked the meeting and reaffirmed the
willingness of the Bolivarian Government to keep channels of
dialogue open and continue building a bilateral agenda of cooperation and mutual benefit.
“Venezuela and Portugal share historic ties of
friendship, cooperation and a valuable Portuguese-Venezuelan community that
deeply unites our peoples,” he said in a post on his social networks.
On August 10, Plasencia held a
telephone conversation with Minister Rangel, in which they discussed commercial exchange
and the importance of the Portuguese-Venezuelan community, while reiterating his
gratitude for Portugal's solidarity after the double earthquake of last June 24.
Previously, on July 9, President Delcy Rodríguez
held a working meeting with the Secretary of State for
Portuguese Communities, Emídio Ferreira dos Santos Sousa, in which they discussed the agenda of
technical assistance and bilateral cooperation following the seismic events.
