Parks and squares in towns of Venezuela will be named after outstanding Belarusians, Ambassador of Venezuela to Belarus Americo Diaz Nunez said at a solemn ceremony of unveiling the memorial plate dedicated to the national hero of Venezuela Simon Bolivar.
The diplomat called this event, which took place during the Days of Venezuela in Belarus, a special gesture of Belarus. The Days are timed to coincide with Venezuela’s national holiday and are held in Minsk for the first time.
Simon Bolivar is the symbol of independence and freedom of not only Venezuela but the whole Latino-American continent. Owing to this legendary commander and wise politicianб six states of Latin America gained their freedom. The deputy chairman of the Minsk city council, Mikhail Titenkov said that the Belarusian people who endured terrible ordeals during the Great Patriotic War understand well the aspirations of the Venezuelan people. The park named after Simon Bolivar, which will host many cultural Venezuelan events, will help Minskers learn more about this friendly country.
A monument to Simon Bolivar will be erected in the park in the near future. Minsk and Caracas are also going to sign a twin-town relations agreement.
