The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, held a high-level diplomatic meeting this Friday, November 13, with the Prime Minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, in Istanbul, Republic of Türkiye.
During the meeting, both officials reviewed the framework for strategic cooperation and joint projects in the areas of energy, natural gas, trade, agriculture, tourism, and investment, thus consolidating 53 years of bilateral diplomatic relations, which began in 1973.
The meeting follows the formal launch of Qatar Airways’ operations on the Doha–Bogotá–Caracas route last November 4, making it the first Gulf-based airline to operate regular flights to Venezuelan territory.
Furthermore, within the context of this exchange between energy powers under the principles of peace diplomacy, is highlighted the solidarity shown by the State of Qatar and the Emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, following the two earthquakes registered in Venezuela.
