Thank you very much, Mr President,
We are very happy to re-visit Venezuela. It is symbolic that tomorrow will mark exactly ten years since you became president. I would like to fulfil a pleasant mission and to convey a message from President of Russia Vladimir Putin to you. He also asked me to convey his best wishes and greetings to you. You have received his invitation to visit the Russian Federation at any convenient time.
Today, we met with Executive Vice President Delcy Rodriguez and Foreign Minister Yvan Gil. We held detailed and trustful talks on all aspects of our relations that are of mutual interest.
We have a common perception of how to make progress with the work in all the directions that you have coordinated with President of Russia Vladimir Putin. This concerns bilateral cooperation projects and everything linked with coordination at the international level.
I would like to emphasise our interaction within the framework of the Group of Friends in Defence of the Charter of the UN, established on your initiative. This Group now holds a rather promising and leading position, while defending the principles on which the UN is founded.
