“We are pleased to have received the Russian ambassador for a pleasant conversation about the progress of the significant bilateral agenda that our countries have developed,” said the Foreign Minister.

In an effort to consolidate their bilateral relationship, Venezuela and Russia have reaffirmed their strong political and diplomatic alliance during a recent meeting between the Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Yvan Gil, and the Russian Ambassador to the country, Sergey Mélik-Bagdasarov. The meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere where both diplomats discussed progress on the joint agenda that benefits both nations.

Through his social networks, Gil highlighted the importance of the conversation, noting that the relationship between Venezuela and Russia is based on “mutual benefit” and increasing cooperation.

This meeting follows the 17th Meeting of the High-Level Intergovernmental Commission (CIAN) held on November 7 in Caracas. During this meeting, the two nations signed new cooperation agreements covering various areas, including technology, hydrocarbons, energy, and aviation.

These agreements add to the 300 previously established between the two countries, focusing on subsoil and hydrocarbon resource use until 2026, as well as training and technical advice for energy sector security.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who also participated in the CIAN, recalled the legacy of the late Commander Hugo Chávez, who dreamed of a permanent union between Venezuela and Russia.

“I am sure that the greatest dream of Commander Chávez was to unite Russia and Venezuela forever in peace, prosperity, and work, and today this wish of our giant has been fulfilled,” said President Maduro.

The consolidation of this strategic partnership reflects the commitment of both countries to strengthen their ties in a changing international context, seeking to enhance their economic and social development through mutual cooperation.
