“Currently, Venezuela is at the center of global geopolitics because of its vast energy reserves, a reliable partner for major domestic and international investments, with a diversified economic model supported by national unity and the contributions of the country’s productive sectors, positioning itself as one of the region’s strongest economies,” the Venezuelan presidency said.

Greek Business Leaders Interested in Venezuela’s Energy Sector
On Wednesday, Oliver Blanco, Venezuela’s deputy foreign minister for Europe and North America, held a meeting with Stavros Kyrimis, Greece’s charge d’affaires, after which they announced that a mission of Greek business leaders is interested in exploring investment opportunities in energy and waste management in the South American country.
The organization of the visit, whose date has not yet been determined, is part of the bilateral working agenda that both sides agreed to develop through measures aimed at strengthening economic cooperation through strategic investments.
The agenda will also prioritize a “strong exchange” in the areas of education and culture, which both delegations consider essential. Thirteen Venezuelan universities have already received official recognition from the Greek authorities, which “formally opens the door for local students to participate in the prestigious European Erasmus+ program, as well as in international academic exchange competitions and missions,” Blanco said.
Since taking office in January, Acting President Rodriguez has been actively promoting foreign private investment in economic sectors related to oil, mining, and electricity.
The South American country’s opening has already produced results, including the signing of various types of agreements with multinational companies such as Repsol (Spain), Eni (Italy), Shell (United Kingdom), and Chevron, Heeney Capital, and General Electric (United States).
