“For President Nicolas Maduro's administration, it will always be a pleasure to meet with the brother Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. From the headquarters of the United Nations, we review the extensive agenda of work and cooperation between our nations. We ratify the ties of friendship between Venezuela and Russia!” Faria said after the private ceremony.
