The cooperation agreement covers multiple areas including politics, economy, energy, defense and culture, and is regarded as an important upgrade in relations between the two countries. Roy Daza, a member of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, said that the treaty is based on sovereign equality and non-interference, and reflects Venezuela's independence. He said that the agreement is not a temporary measure, but a strategic framework established for the long-term development of the country. According to the draft, the agreement is valid for 10 years and can be automatically extended every 5 years.
