This Tuesday, the president of Guinea Bissau, Umaro Sissoco Embaló, arrived in the country, where he plans to meet with authorities of the national government, with the purpose of discussing issues of binational interest, reports the web portal of the MPPRE.
The African President, accompanied by his entourage, were received at the Maiquetía Simón Bolívar International Airport, in the state of La Guaira, by the sectoral vice president of Science, Technology, Education and Health, Gabriela Jiménez Ramírez, and the vice minister for Africa, Yuri Pimentel.
Last June, the Venezuelan ambassador to Guinea Bissau, Eldan Domínguez Fortty, held a meeting with the Minister of Natural Resources of that African nation, Dionísio Cabi, with the aim of strengthening cooperation in energy and mining matters between Caracas and Bissau.
In 2009, the Caribbean and African nations signed seven cooperation agreements in the areas of health, education, energy, mining, anti-drugs, and defense; the latter reviewed in recent June during a meeting between Domínguez Fortty and the Bisauguinean Defense Minister, Sandji Fati.
