This occurred at the close of the III Bolivia-Venezuela Integration Commission, which met the day before at the Casa Amarilla "Antonio José de Sucre," headquarters of the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry.

The Bolivian president arrived Thursday morning at the Simón Bolívar de Maiquetía International Airport, in the state of La Guaira. "This strengthening and signing of agreements that have been achieved after several days of work, marks the resumption of our relations," said Arce.

National President Nicolás Maduro proposes to add the signed agreements to the priority agenda of each Ministry and each company. "We have just signed 13 cooperation documents that must be carefully worked on by our governments," he said.

"We have had a lot of history, many years of foreign relations that little by little are being consolidated (...) What we want is to achieve the benefit that little by little reaches each one of the Bolivians and Venezuelans", added the Bolivian President.

The Venezuelan President for his part said that "these 13 agreements are a commitment sworn between our peoples to initiate a new stage of joint work, union, and integration between sister Bolivia and Venezuela."

On the occasion, Nicolás Maduro presented Arce with a replica of the sword of the Liberator Simón Bolívar. Diplomatic relations between both nations date back to 1883.
