In her speech, the vice-president of the South American nation stressed that this bi-regional forum, organized by the Industrial Confederation of India, "is extraordinarily very important".

The Venezuelan official called for strengthening cooperation ties and investment opportunities between India and Latin America and the Caribbean.

According to Rodríguez, the BRICS bloc of countries (made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) is extremely important worldwide, as it contributes 50 percent of global GDP growth.

"They represent 18 percent of international trade and 43 percent of the world's population", said Rodriguez and added that "we are already starting to talk about the BRICS plus, where there are dozens of countries that have already formalized their application to join this very important bloc".
