The tweet reads. "Arrival in Venezuela of the Prime Minister of Saint Lucia, Philip Pierre, who is making an official visit in order to strengthen the ties of cooperation and brotherhood between the two nations."
On his first day in the South American country, the Premier of Saint Lucia met with the Vice President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, seeking to strengthen bilateral relations and promote collaboration mechanisms for the good of both nations.
The senior officials reviewed issues related to transportation and tourism, as well as other strategic areas, which are part of the Peace Diplomacy promoted by the Government of President Nicolás Maduro.
Vice-President Rodríguez was accompanied by the Ministers of Transportation, Ramón Velásquez Araguayán, and of Tourism, Alí Padrón.
Previously, Philip Pierre laid a wreath to the Liberator Simón Bolívar, ratifying the ties between Saint Lucia and Venezuela, which have maintained relations since 1979 based on solidarity and respect for sovereignty.
