During the VIII CELAC Summit and in the presence of the president @NicolasMaduro, we signed a comprehensive migration agreement with the chancellor of Mexico, Alicia Bárcena, through the Plan Vuelta a la Patria.
In this regard, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said that the document seeks to “consolidate and advance the Plan Back to the Homeland to protect our compatriots in Mexico”.
In his account on social network X, formerly Twitter, the Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs, wrote: “This agreement aims to guarantee protection and a dignified treatment to all Venezuelans.”
This bilateral agreement is part of the Plan Vuelta a la Patria, promoted since 2018 by the Venezuelan government and for which more than “almost a million,” have returned to their homeland according with figures president Maduro said last October.
The ”Return to the Homeland Plan”, created by President Nicolás Maduro establishes an air and land bridge for the voluntary return of all those migrants and their families who lack the means to return, and incorporates all returnees and returnees into Venezuela’s social programmes.
