You have to honor them. We want Venezuela to feel that it has a great ally in Bolivia,” said the president of the Andean country.
“We want to benefit our peoples in Bolivia and Venezuela, and we are sure that with this work that is being done, we will achieve it,” added Arce to celebrate the signing of important agreements with Venezuela.
