The Vice President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, arrived in Shanghai, China, this Tuesday morning, with the aim of strengthening bilateral relations, brotherhood and strategic alliances between both countries.
Rodríguez was received by the director for Latin America of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, Cai Wei; the Venezuelan ambassador to China, Giuseppe Yoffreda, among other authorities.
As part of this official visit, the Executive Vice President is expected to hold several meetings with different representatives of the Chinese government, with whom Venezuela has maintained diplomatic relations for 49 years.
These relationships have been strengthened since 2001 when the High Level Mixed Commission was established as a mechanism to strengthen collaboration in areas of common interest, under the principles of mutual respect and shared development.
Under the leadership of Presidents Xi Jinping and Nicolás Maduro, China and Venezuela have carried out countless projects that include the areas of energy, industry, public works, housing, agriculture, science and technology, transportation, culture, trade, and security and defense.
