On Feb. 1, 2022, Maduro proposed holding a CELAC scientific and technological meeting in Caracas to discuss the possibility of creating a regional institute that promotes cooperation in these areas.
"We must support St. Vincent & the Grenadines’ pro-tempore presidency by promoting successful initiatives for this integration mechanism," Maduro said, recalling that CELAC countries are likely to welcome his proposal.
“The Venezuelan people welcomed the inauguration of a science and technology park in Miranda State,” the Bolivarian leader recalled and ratified his proposal to create a CELAC Secretariat that supports the initiatives suggested by the presidents in their declarations at this integration mechanism’s summits.
