GEORGE’S, GRENADA, June 21, 2013 - GIS:Venezuela’s new resident ambassador has given a commitment to continue dialogue that will strengthen and expand the ties of friendship between his country and Grenada. Ambassador Jorge Veloz made the commitment at a ceremony where he presented his credentials to Governor General Dame Cecile La Grenade.

These programmes amount to roughly two million US dollars in investment to Grenada. Grenada also benefits through the Venezuelan Petro Caribe programme and social programmes that are developed through it. Governor General Dame Cecile La Grenade commended the Spanish speaking country for its assistance to Grenada in education, agriculture, and post hurricane Ivan initiative.
