During a meeting held in Caracas on Tuesday, high-ranking officials from the countries of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) assessed the possibility of establishing a regional center for the development of science, technology, and innovation.
They explored the creation of the Latin American and Caribbean Center for Science and Technology Development, whose objective will be to promote regional integration through a collaborative and solidarity-focused approach.
This center will enhance the exchange of national and regional efforts through projects involving the joint participation of institutions.
CELAC countries also aspire to develop postgraduate programs in fields such as social studies of science, immunology, human genetics, physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, ecology, and medical physics.
“The dream of Latin American and Caribbean unity is becoming a reality,” said Venezuelan Science and Technology Minister Gabriela Jimenez, explaining that regional integration is achievable when researchers’ mobility is expanded, shared projects are promoted, and infrastructure is created to generate knowledge and innovation.
“Accompanied by Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Minister Yvan Gil, CELAC delegations share their ideas on the sciences, technologies, and innovations necessary for the region, understanding that it is not enough to focus solely on scientific research but also on addressing the needs and engaging in dialogue with the cultural elements of our peoples,” she emphasized.

Venezuela Legislator Rodriguez Demands to Halt US Sanctions
Jorge Rodriguez, the president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, demanded an end to unilateral U.S. sanctions as part of the progress toward a multipolar world.
This call came during the Russia-Latin America Parliamentary Conference in Moscow, where he underscored the potential strength of Latin American legislatures in identifying common ground to combat unilateral coercive measures, which are assaults on nations.
“The era of the world’s policeman has passed. The times of hegemony are no longer conceivable in the 21st century for humanity,” Rodriguez emphasized.
The Bolivarian lawmaker stated that nations are growing stronger in pursuit of a multipolar world and the establishment of an international order based on independence of judgment.
He also stressed that the so-called “sanctions” are, in reality, unconventional warfare measures, describing them as “a true scourge against humanity and real bombs that not only claim lives but also undermine the well-being that a people have worked hard to create. They attack the right to healthcare, technology, development, nutrition, culture, and education.”
