01:07We see some images right now that really foster the importance of the ties of the bonds between Venezuela and Russia.
01:17Let's recall that in this context, they are agreeing to continue to strengthen bilateral relations.
01:24Venezuela and Russia have been key strategic partners in along the past decades, but in particular through the last years,
01:32highlighting the importance of mutual cooperation and respect to sovereignty in a world context in which, for example, both nations have been targeted to unilateral coercive measures that have tried to stop the development of both nations.
01:52In this context, strategic cooperation in different terms, strategic areas, for example, energy and also the development of different infrastructure has been key to really show along in this world a different model of development in which these nations are able to continue their path towards development in spite of imperialist model that has tried to
02:21hinder the development of both Venezuela and Russia.
02:26That has been one of the key points between the relations that have tied together the destinies of these nations.
02:40And in this context, they are continuing to strengthen those ties.
02:46Venezuela, Venezuela, in this case, becomes the first country in the continent, the Latin American continent, to elevate its relations with the Russian Federation to the highest political level and also to the highest diplomatic level with the objective of developing joint plans in different topics of interest.
03:11These different topics of interest include the military access, also economic, also energy, as well as technological development as well.
03:26The images that we are seeing right now are from just moments ago as Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was entering the Kremlin ahead of this important meeting that he held.
03:41And we were seeing it live through Telesur English with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

03:59And during the meeting that they held, one of the most important topics was also highlighting the importance of this celebration worldwide.
04:16In the latest global context, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has been a spokesperson for the need to carry out a new fight, world fight against fascism.
04:32Venezuela and Caracas has been the headquarters for multiple world gatherings at different levels, understanding that global context is presenting a new stage of fascism and in that context a new stage of anti-fascism.
04:54And in that global framework, the celebration of Victory Day that highlights the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazism, over fascism 80 years ago, that is in 1945, becomes particularly significant.
05:17As world leaders have been highlighting throughout this week, we've also seen Cuban President DĂaz-Canel visiting Russia and highlighting the importance that has meant for the world to have this victory day, the victory of the Soviet Union, as a path towards a new world leader.

06:22strengthening and also looking at a perspective from the past years as how this relation has been particularly significant from both nations and in particular, very important to the Latin American nations possibility of developing key strategic areas.
06:50that is, for example, development in terms of technology and also cooperation, strategic cooperation in terms of investment regarding the different possible energy sources.
07:15in a context in a context in which energy has become one of the key commodities in this global context and also one of the key issues of debate that imperialism also seeks.
07:37And the development of these different energetic sources from the global south has fostered a new scene in which nations such as Venezuela have been able to continue their development path despite unilateral coercive measures that continue to stand in place to this day.
08:03Let's recall that the Russian Federation has also been a target of different coercive measures that have tried to hinder its own development despite numbers show that they have been very much non-effective.
08:25and also as we are seeing the images of different cooperation agreements we see that the purpose of isolating these nations has also failed the imperialist purpose of isolating nations has failed.
08:43and we see a testimony of this in the strengthening of the bilateral relations that continues to be built and continues to be strengthened and we see that today with a new meeting between
09:01between Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
