Venezuela, Colombia Leaders Plan Talks on Cooperation
In a message shared on Telegram, she stated: "Today I spoke with the President of the Republic of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, and we agreed to hold a bilateral meeting at the level of heads of state soon to continue making progress on key issues on the economic, energy and security agendas, within the framework of strengthening cooperation and relations of respect and joint work between our two countries."
Rodriguez emphasized that both governments are working to deepen ties based on mutual understanding and shared advantages aimed at improving the well-being of their citizens. She did not specify when or where the meeting would take place.
The announcement comes after heightened regional tensions earlier this year. Following the US military’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January, US President Donald Trump labeled Petro a "sick man" and threatened intervention in Colombia similar to that in Caracas.
However, in early February, Petro and Trump met at the Oval Office, signaling what appeared to be a tentative but functioning reconciliation after weeks of strained relations.
