00:00Welcome back. Venezuela and India signed an agreement to modernize zoos, build the country's first wildlife hospital and boost conservation
00:08with tech and training in a diplomatic South-South cooperation milestone.
00:13Venezuela and India signed a memorandum to modernize the country's network of 16 zoos and rescue centers focusing on conservation,
00:22education and research.
00:23The deal includes building Venezuela's first wildlife hospital, equipped by India with cutting-edge technology, labs and training classrooms.
00:35It also ambitions bioparks in greater Caracas and La Guayra, donation of veterinary ambulances and staff training.
00:42This strategic alliance rescues emblematic spaces, raises international welfare standards and strengthens South-South cooperation while recovering national memory and
00:53identity.
01:01I would like to announce that part of the agreement involves incorporating the master plan for the recovery of La
01:08Guayra State, an aquarium,
01:14a wildlife conservation center, a veterinary center and a wildlife hospital as well.
01:26We want to do our very best for La Guayra, to restore it for its people and for the people
01:31of Venezuela.
01:32And I say that there is no more extraordinary step than an agreement that provides for technical assistance for the
01:38preservation, conservation, rehabilitation of wildlife.
01:43And that also envisages the recovery of the country's zoos, starting with the Pinar Zoo and the Caracau Zoo.
01:55So that they may receive technical assistance and so that our professionals, who care for wild animals, may also attend
02:03courses in India,
02:05receive technical support, education and training for the work that will be done in Venezuela.
02:11This agreement is very important.
02:13In this context,
