ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Thirty years after establishing diplomatic relations, Antigua & Barbuda and Venezuela on Saturday took their already cordial affairs in a new direction.
The two independent nations launched the Antigua-Venezuela Friendship Association – a level of co-operation that officials said would help cement the unbreakable bonds between the peoples of the two countries.
Venezuelan ambassador to Antigua & Barbuda Carlos Perez Silva hailed the launch as “a movement of solidarity with Venezuela and its Bolivarian revolution.”
