Rodriguez will represent the government in the exchange of criteria with the opposition, scheduled to take place behind closed doors in the context of the fifth edition of the forum to be held at the Palais de la Bourse in Paris (Brongniart).

The process of government-opposition negotiations, accompanied by Mexico and Norway, was interrupted a year ago, that is why the rapprochement scheduled for today afternoon in this capital generates expectations.

In an interview with Prensa Latina, the founder and general director of the Paris Peace Forum, Justin Vaïsse, expressed satisfaction for the possibility that the event will contribute, with the dialogue, to overcome political tensions in Venezuela.

We have the will to support the talks from Europe, and we know that this is also the will of President Macron, the academician and historian commented.

According to Vaïsse, Venezuela is a major player, both regionally and in the energy field, hence the importance of moving towards the solution of its internal issues.
