Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia Oleg Bartsits congratulated the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Ivan Eduardo Gil Pinto on his birthday.

The congratulation reads, in particular:

"Your high professionalism and efforts to defend the national interests of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the international arena have earned you well-deserved reputation and respect, both in your homeland and abroad. I am profoundly convinced that your significant experience in public service will be the key to effective work to further strengthen the position of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the international arena.

I highly value the allied and fraternal relations that have developed between our states. I warmly recall our friendly conversation "on the sidelines" of the ceremonial events dedicated to the 46th anniversary of the Triumph of the Sandinista Revolution in July 2025 in Managua. I look forward to continuing our meaningful communication and fruitful joint work for the benefit of our countries.

Your Excellency, in order to give further impetus to Abkhazian-Venezuelan interstate cooperation, I have the honor to invite you to visit the Republic of Abkhazia at any time convenient for you."
