The Bolivarian Government is deeply honoured to join our distinguished diplomatic representatives from Africa in laying a wreath to mark the 21st World Africa Week in Venezuela. At this ceremony, we pay tribute to the invaluable legacy of the African peoples, which has been fundamental to the shaping of humanity, as well as to their rich cultural heritage, which has left an indelible mark on the Venezuelan people.

Venezuela reaffirms its commitment to strengthening the bonds of friendship, diplomacy and broad and productive cooperation with the African continent.

25 May 1963, the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) – the forerunner of the current African Union (AU) – was established, which is why we are celebrating World Africa Day today. This commemoration represents an affirmation of the African peoples’ right to sovereignty, peace and justice, rights that were denied to them by the atrocities of colonialism.

The Bolivarian Government reaffirms its deep brotherhood with Mother Africa and its firm commitment to strengthening the bonds of friendship, strategic cooperation and cultural exchange between our peoples, united by centuries of shared history.
