Founded on the initiative of late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, Vietven is the first energy-saving bulb manufacturer in the country.
The firm is expected to ship another 195,000 bulbs to Saint Kitts and Nevis along with other types of energy-efficient lights in the coming time to help improve electricity usage there.
The shipment is part of an effort by Petrocaribe - an oil alliance of Caribbean countries - to foster cooperation in fields other than oil and gas.
