Minsk-Caracas: strengthening partnership
Venezuela is our partner and ally on another continent. The events of the past year have confirmed this once again. Caracas supports Belarus under the unprecedented external pressure. Our country has also repeatedly extended a helping hand. Venezuela is in crisis after the elections. It is complicated by the pandemic. Against this background, Belarus has decided to provide humanitarian aid to its ally in terms of medicines and personal protective equipment. Caracas appreciates such support. The opening of a flight between the two capitals is also on the agenda. In case of a positive decision, Europe's air sanctions will not interfere with the direct communication.
