Venezuela's Acting President Commits to Diplomatic Dialogue with U.S. After Restoring Ties

Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, expressed commitment to resolving differences with the U.S. through diplomatic dialogue following the re-establishment of diplomatic and consular relations. Rodriguez emphasized building long-term relations based on mutual respect, equality, and international law. The U.S. State Department confirmed formal restoration of ties after Caracas severed relations in 2019 amid disputes over Venezuela's leadership. Recent political changes, including Maduro's capture and Rodriguez's interim presidency, have led to gradual bilateral engagement.
