translated from Spanish

1 March 2019 - Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez said Friday during a joint press conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that the Venezuelan president gave instructions to close the PDVSA office in Lisbon to move it to Moscow.

"President Nicolás Maduro has instructed that the office of Petróleos de Venezuela SA in Europe, which is located in Lisbon, be transferred to Moscow," said Rodriguez, stating that the measure should "strengthen" the cooperation between Russia and Venezuela.

The measure establishes the extension of the energy cooperation that Caracas had with Russian oil companies such as Rosneft and Gazprom, Rodríguez said. According to their statements, the Venezuelan authorities "have no doubt" that the timing of the announcement of this transfer is "timely."

"The same capitalist world violates its own laws"

Europe does not give guarantees to Venezuela on the defense of its assets because "the same capitalist world violates its own laws," he underlined below.

In addition, in the framework of the press conference the vice president said that Caracas "will take legal action" to guarantee its "right to defense" of its financial assets.
