In response to a question regarding to Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez arrived in Beijing on Wednesday and plans to meet with several Chinese officials, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian responded on Thursday that China welcomes Rodríguez’s visit and looks forward to advancing the important consensus reached by head of state of both countries through this visit.
China and Venezuela are all-weather strategic partners. In September, 2023, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro made a state visit to China, during which Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Maduro held fruitful talks, providing direction for the development of China-Venezuela relations, Lin said on Thursday at a regular press briefing.
It is hoped Rodríguez’s visit will carry on the traditional friendship between China and Venezuela, deepen practical cooperation across various fields, and inject new momentum into the China-Venezuela all-weather strategic partnership, better benefiting the peoples of both countries, Lin noted.
