During a conversation held at Miraflores Palace between the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, with members of the Dialogue Commission for the Bolivarian Government, the Minister of Economy and Finance also pointed out that “this means why yesterday was issued a license modifying what had to do with the license given to Trinidad and Tobago to export gas from Venezuela.”
Rodríguez explained that the license that is being granted to the Central Bank of Venezuela and the Bank of Venezuela “will allow payment mechanisms to our country.”
“This license is also a first step to recompose international legality towards economic, commercial and financial freedoms,” because, “ultimately what is expressed here is the victorious resistance of the Venezuelan people in not recognizing any foreign jurisdiction, but rather the Venezuelan jurisdiction”.
The senior official maintained that «it is a sign that Venezuela and the Venezuelan people have always been right when they said: We have the right to develop oil, to exploit gold, to export gas, which are the natural wealth of our country.»
