“Both parties have mutual interest in signing this document as soon as the opportunity arises,” according to the embassy. “It would be symbolic to sign it on the anniversary year of 2025 (the 80th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations),” the embassy’s statement added.
March 14 marked the 80th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Venezuela and Russia.
