Maduro and the Chinese Delegation: Steps Towards Cooperation

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro held his latest official diplomatic meeting with a Chinese delegation. This meeting took place at the Miraflores Palace in the capital city of Caracas. In addition to Maduro, the meeting was attended by Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, Foreign Minister Yvan Gil, and China’s Ambassador to Caracas Lan Hu.

Security Concerns Before the Meeting

This meeting between Maduro and the Chinese delegation was overshadowed by the sound of explosions heard in the capital within hours prior. According to local media reports, the meeting comes after planned U.S. attacks on the country. The Venezuelan government claims that the U.S. is responsible for the unfolding events and emphasizes that this process is related to instability in the region.

Strategic Relationship Between the Two Countries

During the meeting, it was noted that more than 600 bilateral agreements between Venezuela and China were reviewed. Energy, trade, and infrastructure emerged as key areas of cooperation between the two countries. Additionally, it is reported that during this meeting, Maduro signed decrees declaring a 'state of emergency due to external intervention' across the country.
