With great emotion and solidarity, I signed the book of condolences opened at the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in honor of the victims of the illegal and criminal aggression carried out by the United States against that sister nation on January 3, 2016, which culminated in the kidnapping of the legitimate president of that country, Nicolás Maduro Moros, and his wife, Cilia Flores.
There are no talks with the US government, except for technical contacts in the area of migration.
We have always been willing to engage in serious and responsible dialogue with the various US administrations, including the current one, on the basis of sovereign equality, mutual respect, principles of international law, mutual benefit without interference in internal affairs, and with full respect for our independence.
