The Government of Spain transferred to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) resources from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela that were repressed and that will be destined for the attention of the Venezuelan people in the framework of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The transaction was achieved through an effective mechanism between the Central Bank of Venezuela, the Bank of Spain and the willingness of PAHO, under the coordination of both foreign ministries, said the People’s Power Minister for Foreign Relations, Jorge Arreaza.
“We salute that the effective mechanism between the Central Bank of Venezuela, the Bank of Spain and the willingness of PAHO, under the coordination of both foreign ministries, has managed to guarantee the assets of Venezuelans for the comprehensive care of COVID-19”, said the Venezuelan foreign minister in his Twitter account @jaarreaza.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of Spain, Arancha González, previously announced her country’s decision on the aforementioned social network: “Spain has transferred frozen Venezuelan resources in our country to the PAHO to help alleviate the effects of the pandemic in Venezuela”.
The high-ranking Spanish official also welcomed “the agreement for the management of humanitarian aid to the fight against COVID-19”, referring to the document signed on Tuesday by the People’s Power Ministry for Health of Venezuela, advisers of a sector from the opposition and PAHO to unify efforts in the response to the new coronavirus.
