Venezuela’s government and opposition resume talks in Caracas
Venezuela’s government and opposition representatives began face-to-face talks in Caracas on Thursday for a new round of political dialogue. Their initial agenda includes strengthening democratic institutions and coordinating aid for people affected by two powerful earthquakes that struck in June.
Venezuela’s government and opposition representatives began face-to-face talks in the capital, Caracas, as part of a new round of political dialogue.
The talks brought together delegates from the government of interim President Delcy Rodriguez and representatives of the Delegates Commission of the opposition-linked 2015 National Assembly.
Agenda for the talks
Only photographers were allowed to attend the opening session at the Simon Bolivar Park Convention Center in the La Carlota area. No public statement was expected after the meeting.
The initial talks were planned to focus on strengthening democratic institutions and coordinating aid efforts for people affected by two powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela in June.
Dialogue process began on August 1
The political dialogue initiative officially began after a phone call on August 1 between National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez and former opposition lawmaker Dinorah Figuera. The two sides agreed to begin negotiations.
The initiative was announced in July as part of efforts to advance Venezuela’s democratic transition.
US supports the talks
The United States viewed the talks as an important step toward strengthening democratic institutions and restoring guarantees for political participation.
Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello welcomed the opposition delegation before the meeting. Cabello said the delegation members would be welcomed “as long as they have come to contribute within the framework of the Constitution.”
