The President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, reported this afternoon about the arrival at the port of Puerto Cabello, Carabobo state, of a ship from China, with 87 units of heavy machinery and 1,800 prefabricated houses, destined for reconstruction work following the earthquakes recorded in the country.

The president detailed the arrival of the shipment during a television link with the port of Carabobo state, where the sectorial vice-president of Public Works and Services, Juan Ramírez Luces; the vice-chancellor for Asia, the Middle East and Oceania, Eduardo Ramírez; and the ambassador of the People's Republic of China in Venezuela, Lan Hu, were located.

“I thank President Xi Jinping, his government and the people of China for this important help, which is a sign of cooperation between our countries,” Rodríguez said during the broadcast.

He explained that heavy equipment will be incorporated into the tasks of cleaning infrastructure debris, which are currently 63 percent complete. The goal of the National Executive is to clear all waste in the state of La Guaira before the end of the year.

For his part, he indicated that prefabricated housing structures will allow for the beginning of the decongestion of temporary camps. The deployment of these modules will make it possible to transfer those affected to single-family spaces with privacy and security, while the execution of permanent residential works progresses.
