The Venezuelan government and opposition have agreed to hold their first in-person meeting in Caracas next week. The talks will focus on three key areas: providing aid to victims of the recent earthquakes, bolstering democratic institutions, and upholding political rights and guarantees. The President of the National Assembly will coordinate the opposition’s participation. This agreement marks a significant step towards potential negotiation and collaboration between the two sides. While details remain limited, the meeting signals a willingness to address pressing national issues through dialogue. The focus on earthquake relief suggests a potential area of immediate cooperation despite ongoing political differences. This is seen as a tentative but positive development in Venezuela’s long-standing political crisis.
