At the institution, located in Caracas, the African visitors were received by its director, Reinaldo Bolívar, who gave them a tour of the facilities and shared his impressions regarding South-South Cooperation, promoted by Commander Hugo Chávez and continued by the President Nicolás Maduro, to strengthen the brotherhood of Venezuela with the countries of the African continent.
On behalf of Kenya the members of the Committee for the Supervision of the Implementation of the Constitution of the National Assembly, Japheth Kiplangat Mutai and Bernard Otieno Okoth, as well as Mary Luka Lemerele, member of the Justice and Legal Affairs Commission of the National Assembly of that country were present; while for the Democratic Republic of the Congo the Secretary General of the Congolese Communist Party, Sylvere Boswa, participated.
South-South Cooperation offers vital elements so that developing countries and transition economies do not depend solely on capitalist programs. With this premise, relations between South America and Africa, the so-called countries of the global south, have been consolidated, all of this strengthened since the arrival of the Bolivarian Revolution.
