Gil arrived in this capital from Rwanda this Thursday and among his first activities was a meeting with the Ugandan Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Judith Nabakooba.
The purpose of this meeting was to “advance issues that were flagships of the Bolivarian process,” he noted on his X account, formerly Twitter.
Also on the day, the senior diplomat spoke with the National Planning Authority of Uganda and the organizing member of the Summit of the Movement of Non-Alienated Countries, Pamela Kasabiiti Mbabazi, about cooperation in economic and social areas of interest to both peoples.
The Venezuelan foreign minister ended his stay in Rwanda the day before, where he carried out an extensive and tight agenda of meetings with high authorities, including the executive vice president of that country’s development committee, Nelly Mukazayire.
He also met with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Rwanda, Édouard Ngirente, with whom he discussed new areas of understanding and cooperation that contribute to the further development of the South-South Union, and with his counterpart Vincent Biruta.
Gil believed that the brotherhood between Venezuela and Rwanda was “fundamental to a future of prosperity for our people.”
The next stop and end of the head of Bolivarian diplomacy’s journey through Africa will be Egypt, after also visiting the Republic of Congo and Ethiopia.
