Just a day before the kickoff of a two-day Amazon summit to be held in the Brazilian city of Belém, Yván Gil, Venezuela’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, reiterated Venezuela’s commitment to working together with neighboring nations to protect the Amazonian rainforest, also known as the “lungs of the planet.”
“With great expectations, we arrived in the Brazilian city of Belém do Pará where the Amazon summit will be held, resuming cooperation to protect the lungs of the planet and guarantee a safe Amazon of peace and belonging to all South Americans,” Gil wrote in a post on the social media network X.
