Japanese-Venezuelan Strategic Fund
President Hugo Chávez proposed the creation of a Japanese-Venezuelan strategic fund to contribute to promote Japanese investments in the country, as well as technological development.
During his meeting with Japanese businesspeople in Tokyo, the Venezuelan president indicated that this kind of working instruments point at a firm conviction about having an economic, strategic, gas, oil, industrial and financial alliance between Venezuela and Japan.
"We aspire that Japan’s investments and technological participation in Venezuela speed up and get stronger every day since our country is in the best condition to carry out an association with this great nation; therefore, we are organizing the Orinoco Oil Belt in blocs, and we have come here to invite Japan to participate in this Venezuelan space,” stressed President Chávez.
Likewise, he recalled that the world is undergoing a crisis with global and colossal dimensions forcing nations to encourage their creativity and become more dynamic and efficient regarding the planning and carrying out of projects in order to achieve bigger spaces for our interdependence and alliance.
“We have already established a Japanese-Venezuelan commission to draw a map of relations for the coming years. Venezuela aspires to supply 1 million oil barrels per day to Japan in the future because we have the world’s largest oil reserves. Furthermore, we will be able to start exporting liquefied gas to Japan and other nations within three years,” he explained.
In addition, the Venezuelan president explained that this year Venezuela may start to send 100,000 oil bpd to Japan.
“Let’s work to become energy allies. In addition to the energy field, in Venezuela there is a number of joint projects and we want Japan to participate,” he said."
