* Venezuela’s Foreign Minister Yván Gil has announced that delegations from the Venezuelan and Brazilian governments have met in Caracas to discuss measures to deepen bilateral trade. The delegations agreed to install an administrative commission which was proposed in an economic complementation agreement signed between the two countries back in 2012, to establish a bilateral working group to evaluate Brazilian animal and vegetable products, and to work together to combat cross-border smuggling. They agreed to meet again “soon” to establish working groups on these issues, according to Gil’s statement. These discussions followed a meeting between Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro and his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Brasília on 29 May.
