The Acting President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, met this Tuesday with authorities from the Bank for the Development of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) at Miraflores Palace in Caracas.
At the meeting, the Acting President was accompanied by the Vice President for Economic Affairs, Calixto Ortega; the Minister for Economy and Finance, Anabel Pereira Fernández; the Vice President for Finances of PDVSA, Christiam Hernández; and the Vice Minister for Geopolitics for Hydrocarbons, Eduardo Ramírez.
Representing CAF were its Executive President, Sergio Díaz-Granados; the institution’s Secretary General, Alejandra Claros; the Chief of Staff, Pablo Terrazas; and the Corporate Vice President for Strategic Programming, Christian Asinelli.
The CAF, as the institution is historically known, has maintained its headquarters in Caracas since its founding on February 7, 1968. However, it was in June 1970 when it formally began its operations, establishing itself as one of the main sources of financing for development in the region.
Currently, the multilateral organization and the Venezuelan State maintain joint efforts focused on social development, sustainability, and strategic alliances with UN agencies, highlighting projects on food security. Likewise, the CAF reaffirms its presence in the country by promoting the cultural agenda and the organization of high-impact sport events, such as the traditional CAF Marathon.
