Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil revealed on his Telegram account that he had a telephone conversation with his counterpart from that African state, Selma Ashipala-Musavyi.

During the conversation, they discussed sectors such as hydrocarbons, mining, education, agriculture, air services, and housing, he expressed.

He announced that, with the commitment to strengthen these ties, “we agreed to hold the Second Binational Joint Commission in Caracas in the last quarter of this year to deepen our strategic collaboration.”

Gil noted that they also exchanged perspectives on President Nicolas Maduro’s initiative to convene a Summit for Peace and Against War, “a necessary proposal in the face of the turbulent global situation and the aggressions against Palestine and Iran.”

The Bolivarian Foreign Minister thanked the Namibian government for its strong support for Venezuela and its rejection in international forums of the illegal unilateral coercive measures imposed against its people.

Both nations established diplomatic relations on May 22, 1990, and these relations were strengthened with the rise to power of Commander Hugo Chavez (1954-2013).

Currently, Caracas and Windhoek have signed 22 cooperation instruments in the areas of politics, education, culture, library services, communication, mining, petroleum, agriculture, housing, women and gender equality, electoral processes, labor, and social development, according to official sources.
