“Only with the inclusion in the discussion of any initiative, will we be able to move forward as a region, for this we must build enough consensus”, he said. In this regard, he warned that Venezuela has always promoted and supported all efforts in the region. “We have much to contribute, with interesting advances and a shared vision on how we see development and the need to mitigate the environmental impact to assume the commitments that we have set in international agreements, but this requires full inclusion among all countries of the region”. He also stressed that Venezuela wants to take advantage of this multilateral forum to support all the initiatives discussed, while underlining the support of the Regional Office of the Green Fund, considering it a convenient opportunity for the region.
