The minister also said that some 107 Brazilian and Venezuelan doctors, graduated from the Latin American School of Medicine in Caracas and grouped in the Simon Bolivar Brigade, appeared on Friday at the Venezuelan consulate in Boa Vista, to offer their services to the Amazonas state.

Arreaza also underlined the need to seek a formula to go beyond differences and give way to a new dynamics of comprehensive bilateral relations, for the good of Venezuela and Brazil.
