Last August, Caracas and Ankara signed new agreements on the establishment and operation of activities in cultural centers, construction of new housing units, health and education.
The signing of the new agreements came after the visit to Venezuela of the Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlüt Cavusoglu, who assured that the exchanges between his country and the South American nation “tripled” in recent months despite the pandemic by COVID-19.
Similarly, Venezuela and Turkey agreed to the construction of a hospital with capacity for 288 beds in the Caribbean country.
Turkey has emerged as a trusted partner for Venezuela in recent times, and has earned an important position in the foreign trade of the South American country as a result of the sanctions that the European Union imposed in 2018 on Caracas.
Furthermore, Ankara has reiterated its willingness to cooperate in the context of the problems that have caused the coronavirus pandemic.
