In an important step towards strengthening bilateral relations, Venezuela and Kyrgyzstan signed agreements on Friday to abolish visa requirements for holders of diplomatic and service passports, during the 79th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN), which takes place in New York, United States.
This was reported by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, in his Telegram account in which he said he was proud of his meeting with his Kyrgyz counterpart, Jeenbek Kulubaev:
“We are proud to announce that we have signed bilateral agreements with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan, through these alliances our nations are committed to strengthening cooperation and working together to promote the development and well-being of our peoples,” published the Minister of Foreign Affairs, along with images of the meeting.
In February 2024, the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, appointed the Diplomatic Mission of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the Republic of Kazakhstan in that nation.
Fight against imperialist interventions:
Likewise, Minister Gil stated that in order to strengthen bilateral cooperation, he held a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Iraq, Fuad Hussein, where they addressed common challenges, such as food security and the joint fight against imperialist interventions and their impact on peoples.
It is worth noting that Caracas and Baghdad established diplomatic relations in 1950, ties that were strengthened in 1960 when both nations, within the framework of their coincidence in energy matters, founded the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), together with Iran, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, with the mission of promoting similar positions in favor of stability in production and fair prices in the world hydrocarbon market.
