The Head of State expressed her gratitude to the Asian government for the shipment: “I would like to extend my thanks to President Xi Jinping, his government, to the people of China for this vital humanitarian aid, which serves as a testament to the cooperation between our nations,” manifested the dignitary.
“I say this every single day: today we will also be handing over renovated homes as part of the ‘Venezuela Renace’ [Venezuela Reborn] plan. I hope that, by the end of the year, there will be no one left in the camps,” emphasized the president.
