 Venezuelan Government To Continue National Dialogue Process

The Venezuelan government informed on Thursday through a press release that it will sign a second partial agreement with the opposition to guarantee the protection of Venezuelan citizens.

According to the text, the pact creates a practical mechanism to address vital social needs and public service problems based on the recovery of legitimate resources, and property of the Venezuelan State, which are blocked in the international financial system.

According to Rodríguez, the Government delegation accompanying him is made up of lawmaker Nicolás Maduro Guerra; the Minister of Labor, Francisco Torrealba; Deputy Génesis Garvett; the Minister of Women, Diva Guzmán; the Minister of Science and Technology, Gabriela Jiménez; the Executive Secretary of the National Council of Human Rights, Larry Davoe; and the Vice-Minister of Anti-Blockade Policies of the Ministry of Finance, William Castillo.

This meeting between the Government and the Venezuelan opposition is the first one after the suspension of the dialogue more than a year ago.

Negotiations, which began in August 2021, were suspended in October of that year following the extradition of Alex Saab from Cape Verde to the US.
