The Vice-minister for Multilateral Issues of the People’s Power Ministry for Foreign Relations, Daniela Rodríguez, held on Thursday a first working meeting with the recently accredited ambassador of the Plurinational State of Bolivia in Venezuela, Sebastián Michel, at the headquarters of the Foreign Ministry, in Caracas.
Upon leaving the meeting, the Venezuelan diplomat indicated that they reviewed multilateral cooperation issues and evaluated proposals to strengthen the unity of both Bolivarian governments and peoples in the international context.
They also talked about unifying efforts as sister countries in the reactivation of regional integration platforms, in order to “strengthen our joint presence at the level of the debates that take place in multilateral organizations.”
Ambassador Sebastián Rodrigo Michel Hoffmann presented President Nicolás Maduro his Credentials for this position on January 14, consolidating the reactivation of diplomatic relations that were fractured during a year of de facto government, which usurped power as a result of the coup against Evo Morales at the bottom of 2019. Venezuela appointed Alexander Yánez as its ambassador in La Paz, in November 2020.
The Plurinational State of Bolivia resumed the democratic course with the popular victory of Luis Arce in the presidential elections of October 18, 2020, from which his nation resumed its membership in the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP).
