The ambassador of the Bolivian Republic of Venezuela in this country, Alberto Castillar, reported that starting from Petrocaribe they are developing a plan against poverty that affects the countries that form part of this agreement, called Plan Hugo Chavez, in honor of the former President of that country.

"These resources will be invested in order to comply with the millennium goals. In 2000 the United Nations established some goals, that are to lower by half the levels of misery and poverty among the persons who suffer hunger in the world," the diplomat pointed out.
