00:00In order to continue the economic growth of Venezuela international trade with Turkey is boosted with new bilateral agreements and partnerships between both nations.
00:08Our colleague Brunner Falsi with more details.
00:15Cabiter, the Venezuela-Turquille Commercial Integration Chamber, was inaugurated in the Venezuelan capital with the objective of strengthening trade, relations, and exports between the two nations.
00:30Well, it has grown a lot. I will give you some figures.
00:35Ten years ago our trade was only $150 million, in 2018 to 2022, on two occasions our trade volume exceeded $1 billion, and then our goal, the goal that our President Erdogan and President Maduro have set is to reach $3 billion.
00:52Each businessman has to assume himself as a trade ambassador of the exportable offer of all the wonderful things that the expression made in Venezuela means,
01:06because there goes the pride of what is ours associated to a brand, a product, a consumable good or a service,
01:12and then they will open spaces for a greater commercial exchange from the chamber and at the same time they will serve to identify investment opportunities.
01:20With the presence of businessmen from various sectors from all over the country, a document was signed together with representatives of both governments,
01:35thus creating jobs and fostering economic growth.
01:38The support we can provide is very vital in order to make this country grow, and despite all the adversities,
01:48despite all these unilateral coercive measures that have been imposed on us, we continue to grow.
01:54In the business sector there are many experiences where we have been importing some machinery,
02:04some medicine and food products from Turkey, as well as some experiences that we from Portuguesa are exporting,
02:11brand country brand made in Venezuela to Turkey.
02:14The proposal has been well received by the Venezuelan productive sector, with more than 60 companies being part of the signed agreement.
02:31We have many products such as coffee, passion fruit, potatoes, carrots, we have many products that can add to the productive economy of our country,
02:39and be able to see what is shown here, in our Venezuela, to Turkey.
02:46The fact that we are part of a chamber of commerce between bilateral agreements is very important for us,
02:54because it allows us to increase exports and take the products that Venezuela produces to another frontier.
03:00In a context of economic warfare, by the United States against Venezuela,
03:10the deepening of relations between these nations strengthens the consolidation of the multipolar world,
03:16and an alternative to neoliberalism.
