I think developed countries - so-called developed countries - should reflect upon the way of living and the waste of energy.

We must reduce the emissions 100 percent. In Venezuela, the emissions are currently insignificant compared to the emissions of the developed countries.

Oil is a very valuable resource for life - electric heaters. We must have to transition ourselves to a post-oil era. And that's what we must discuss: searching and developing new sources of energy. And that requires scientific research. That requires investment. And the developed countries must be the ones to assume this responsibility first.

What we ask of the developed countries is to let the Third World find a third way.

Medical costs are of concern, both in developing and developed countries.

Well-trained medical doctors and engineers leave Nigeria to the developed countries. We want to reverse that.
