Gil will continue the work initiated by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro during the latter’s visit to Ankara as a guest for the reelected president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s inauguration in June 2023.

Gil and Fidan have signed an agreement to mutually promote and safeguard investments between their two countries, with the aim of elevating the bilateral trade exchange to three billion USD.
