Also presenting their credentials were Fadel al Hassun, as the new ambassador of Kuwait, Katarina Andric (Serbia), Meshack Kitchen (Zimbabwe) and Joseph Gerad B Angeles (Philippines). Through X, Maduro assured today that his country's relations with the world, based on “cooperation and deep friendship,” are advancing “very strongly.”
Likewise, the president pointed out that the development of these relations aims to build a “new humanity of peace and union” that guarantees “joint well-being.”
