A Venezuelan opposition coalition has voiced its approval of an international summit in Colombia next week to discuss their deadlocked negotiations with President Nicolas Maduro's government
Venezuela's opposition, backed by many countries, including the United States, did not recognise Maduro's 2018 re-election in a vote widely dismissed as fraudulent.
Last month, a Venezuelan official said free presidential elections in 2024 were dependent on the lifting of sanctions. On Thursday, Colombia's Petro asked his US counterpart Joe Biden to gradually lift economic sanctions on Caracas with the commitment that next year's presidential elections will be held with guarantees for the opposition.
Juan Guaido, recognised in 2019 by more than 50 countries as Venezuela's de facto leader, has rejected Petro's calls for sanctions against the country to be lifted.
