Maduro stressed that this new round of negotiations will allow the United States to “comply with the agreements signed in Qatar and reestablish the terms of dialogue with respect, without manipulation”.
“Furthermore, let these be public dialogues, without speculation, we will not hide“he added.
The president said that the president of Parliament, the Chavista Jorge Rodriguezwill be the representative of the Caribbean nation in this dialogue process, together with the state governor Miranda (north), Hector Rodriguez.
“Let’s debate and seek new agreements so that what was signed in Qatar is fulfilled, I want dialogue, I want understanding, I want a future for our relations, I want changes, yes, under the absolute sovereignty and independence of Venezuela“, sustained.
Since March 2022, when a White House delegation traveled to Caracas to meet with Maduro, talks between the US and Venezuela have been intermittent and with ups and downs.
The meetings were subsequently repeated in several locations, with at least a second visit by a US mission to Caracas.

Among the agreements reached was the partial lifting of US sanctions on Venezuela last October, a relief that was reversed six months later when Caracas failed to comply – according to the Executive of Joe Biden– with what was agreed in the Barbados Agreementsigned with the opposition.
One of the flaws pointed out by the North American country is that the disqualifications of all Venezuelan opposition politicians, who are subject to administrative sanctions, such as the leader, were not lifted. Maria Corina Machadowho cannot run in the presidential elections on July 28 due to this measure.
However, Venezuela managed – among other issues – thanks to negotiations, the release of the Colombian businessman Alex Saabdesignated as Maduro’s front man, who was arrested in Miami until last December, in exchange for the release of almost thirty people classified as political prisoners by the Venezuelan authorities.
