It should be noted that both sides agreed to deepen the cooperation between Venezuela and the UN. In this sense, the Head of the Bolivarian Diplomacy highlighted the importance of multilateralism as a space to overcome the problems that attack the Venezuelan economy. “It is necessary then, that multilateralism in this case, overcome any impact of the unilateral attacks and so can we prepare ourselves with a much greater strength”, added the Diplomat.
