India Engages with Venezuela to Strengthen Energy Security Following US License
India is actively engaging with Venezuela to enhance its energy security, according to Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal. This follows the state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) receiving a license from the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to resume full operations in Venezuela. The license lifts previous sanctions-related restrictions, allowing ONGC to increase investment, boost oil production, and potentially manage projects with Venezuela's state-owned PDVSA, supporting India's energy diversification efforts.
