This Sunday the commercial exchange between Venezuela and Aruba resumed, after a suspension that lasted for four years.
Aboard the boats El Maracucho and La Gaviota, 76 tons of “fruit, vegetables and other merchandise left for this island in the Netherlands in the Caribbean Sea” from the port of Guaranao, in the state of Falcón, “as indicated on Twitter the Vice Minister for Europe, Franklin Ramírez.
As will be recalled, the restrictions on maritime and air traffic “between Venezuela and the islands of the Netherlands in the Caribbean Sea (Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao) have maintained restrictions since February 2019, clouded by political issues. However, in May of this year the borders were opened again to boost trade and diplomatic relations.
The departure of these two vessels, loaded with 76 tons of fruits and vegetables to Aruba, marks the resumption of trade relations between the two territories, auguring the revitalization of their economies.
