In 2017, the Bolivarian Government will internationalize its urban recovery programs for the benefit of other countries in the region such as Haiti and Cuba.

Manuel Quevedo, the Venezuelan Minister of Housing, stressed that the "Misión Vivienda" as well as the "Gran Misión Barrio Nuevo" and "Barrio Tricolor" are social strategies recognized internationally, he has therefore proposed to export this model to contribute to the generation of foreign currencies.

Quevedo said "2017 will be the year of the offensive. We need to internationalize the achievements of the Revolution and it is one of the strategic lines of President Nicolas Maduro to internationalize these missions, which are positive examples of the Bolivarian revolution for the world."

Moreover he said that in the next few days Nicolas Maduro will approve the annual plan for Habitat and Housing for the year 2017, to advance the construction of more housing across Venezuela.

He recalled that the executive has already started the process in 2016, following the activation of the international corridor to support Haiti and Cuba with supplies for housing construction, delivered to families affected by Hurricane Matthew. https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-19226-icihaiti-venezuela-towards-the-construction-and-rehabilitation-of-housing.html
