He stated that the 2019 Collaboration Plan includes 22 projects, which will impact on nine sectors of economic and social development in both countries.
Although 90 percent of the resources that will be destined to its execution will be oriented to the strengthening and development of the services of health and production of medicines, also the presence is maintained in other activities like the urban agriculture, education, culture, sport, electrical services and formation of human resources, he clarified.
Cabrisas assured that for the conformation of the plan the principle of orienting the projects to highly priority objectives and with real capacity of the parts to execute them with efficiency and rationality was taken as a starting point.
He stressed the full and unconditional solidarity of the government and people of Cuba with the Bolivarian Revolution, and reiterated the rejection of unilateral coercive measures that hinder the management of the government and the economic development of Venezuela.
He also wished success in the new term that will begin next January for President Nicolás Maduro, to whom they will offer unalterable support.
Delcy Rodríguez Gómez, Executive Vice President of the South American nation, stated that this is a decisive moment for both peoples and that it is not only a question of signing a document, but also the burden of the committed work of two peoples who united in the legacy of Martí and Bolívar to be free and to defend their independence.
She specified that when reviewing the balance of the cooperation of the last 18 years 220 thousand collaborators of the largest of the Antilles that have arrived in Venezuela can be counted, for which they feel a great gratitude.
