Trinidad and Tobago to supply Venezuela with manufactured goods
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — The Government of Trinidad and Tobago says it will be providing relief to Venezuela in the form of manufactured goods, but gave no indication as to whether it is as a result of the socio-economic and political unrest in the Spanish- speaking country.
Prime Minister Keith Rowley made the announcement yesterday after holding bilateral talks with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
The Rowley Administration also announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding that will allow the operating companies of the two countries to proceed on cross-border initiatives.
President Nicolás Maduro, who arrived here on Sunday night from Jamaica, paid a courtesy call on President Anthony and later held talks with Rowley.
Maduro was greeted by pro and anti-demonstrators as his motorcade made its way to the office of President Carmona and the Diplomatic Centre where he met Rowley.
Speaking at a joint news conference where neither men took questions from the media, Rowley described the talks as “very productive and very useful… that would be beneficial to both the people of the South American country and their Caribbean Community neighbour.”
