On Sunday July 5th, Venezuela celebrated the 204th anniversary of its emancipation from Spanish colonial rule.
The event set the country on the path to becoming a free nation and was celebrated through a civic-military parade in Los Proceres Boulevard, attended by high-ranking members of the Venezuelan government and international ambassadors.
Several heads of state, including the president of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee, also sent their congratulations to the Bolivarian government in honour of the date.
