Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro says he has agreed on an agenda for future talks with United States officials after meeting a delegation from Washington over the weekend, the first high-level discussions between the two countries in years.
“Last Saturday night a delegation from the government of the United States of America arrived in Venezuela, I received it here at the presidential palace,” Maduro said in a broadcast on state media on Monday. “We had a meeting, I could describe it as respectful, cordial, very diplomatic,” he added.
