The President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, has developed and is implementing a system for the economic rehabilitation of Venezuela, which has suffered greatly from economic shocks. Under these programs, the government actively strengthens ties with China. So, the delegation from the Research Center for Development of China was invited to the initial public sale of cryptocurrency Petro.
