They were accompanied by the Deputy Minister for Multilateral Issues, Daniela Rodríguez.

In this sense, the vice chancellor explained that in the coffee and cocoa sector it was agreed to work on the international certification of the Venezuelan grain so that it can be presented to the companies that make up the South African business group that requested the immediate purchase of 200 tons of Venezuelan coffee.

Likewise, agreements were signed in mining matters, including projects for the exploration and exploitation of gold, diamond, nickel, bauxite, iron and coltan.
