Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodriguez and Colombian President Gustavo Petro have agreed to hold a bilateral meeting to discuss security, economic, and energy issues. The meeting comes as Venezuela adjusts to its new government following the removal of former leader Nicolas Maduro. Rodriguez has overseen reforms, including opening the nationalized oil sector to foreign investment, with support from the US. The shake-up in leadership has also led to increased international diplomacy, with visits from US and Qatari officials, as well as potential plans for a diplomatic trip by US President Donald Trump. Petro, who has worked to improve relations with Venezuela, has questioned the legitimacy of Maduro’s recent election.
