Venezuela and China deepen relations based on the well-being of the peoples

“What is deeply entrenched is the friendship between the peoples of China and Venezuela. We do not conceive a space of Venezuelan national life, where there is no cooperation and relationship with China, and very recently the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic”, said the Executive Vice-president of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez.

During the celebration of the 46th anniversary of the establishment of China-Venezuela diplomatic relations, Rodríguez addressed the ambassador of the People’s Republic of China in Venezuela, Li Baorong, to whom she reminded part of the brotherhood relations between the two nations: “This June 6, you and I were at the Simón Bolívar International Airport, receiving the sixth flight of the airlift between China and Venezuela to combat COVID-19.”

In this sense, she indicated that more than 231 tons of supplies to combat the coronavirus, such as rapid tests, molecular tests, biosafety protective suits for health personnel and medications, has been received by the Bolivarian homeland, thanks to these relations of brotherhood and cooperation between governments.

In this context, she said: “What would have been of the combat against COVID-19 in Venezuela, if it had not been for cooperation with China? For all that the arrival of supplies has meant. This has been thanks to that permanent airlift we have between the two nations. We are very especially grateful to you, because we know that, thanks to your thorough management, every day watching over the relationship with Venezuela, we have reached important agreements”, she told Ambassador Baorong.

She added that “today is a very special day for Venezuela, in its diplomatic relations, when we are reaching 46 years of this relationship and that, from the youth of the Bolivarian Republic, we can say that it has had a special matrix of consolidation of our relations”.
