*Venezuela’s national assembly has approved an investment agreement with China. Few details have been made public on the detail of the agreement, which was signed in May by Vice President Delcy Rodríguez and China’s deputy trade minister Wang Shouwen. Venezuela’s special economic zones (SEZs), created in July 2022, are likely to be a key focus of the investment agreement; during an official visit to China in September 2023, President Nicolás Maduro secured a new partnership between the Venezuelan SEZs and the Chinese cities of Shanghai and Shenzhen and the province of Shandong.
