The Republic of India and Venezuela have advanced in various fields of cooperation in the areas of energy, oil, education, culture, technology, commerce and health, promoting the south-south cooperation promoted by President Hugo Chávez, and so far continues to be boosted by the Venezuelan Head of State, Nicolás Maduro.
It was the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, when he came to power in 1998, who said: “I embrace India as my own country and said we go to south-south cooperation and we thus see to the north and also we see to the south, and so expanding and consolidating, relations between both peoples have been developed.”
The commitment of the Venezuelan Government is to continue advancing in relations of mutual respect, of shared benefits, where international law is what governs the development of cooperation and friendship.
