08:26diplomatic ties and cooperation between both nations.
08:30The Prime Minister was welcomed at the Mediterranean International Airport by several officials of
08:34the Bolivarian government.
08:36Venezuela and Grenada have maintained diplomatic relations for more than 47 years.
08:40The relations are considered successful, strategic, and highly beneficial for both nations and
