The document, released by the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE), explains that the strategic association between both countries “transcends all areas of cooperation and today constitutes a recognition of the efforts made by the Bolivarian Government in favor of scientific development” in Venezuela.
“In Venezuela, we look forward to seeing the results of the recent meeting held between the Bolivarian Agency for Space Activities (ABAE) and China’s National Laboratory for Deep Space Exploration (DSEL),” he explains.
In the statement, Caracas “reiterates the sincere fraternity, friendship and solidarity” that unites both governments, “with the commitment to continue to deepen the strategic association that has brought so many benefits” to both countries.
