U.S. applauds progress in Venezuela transition led by Dinorah Figuera and interim government

The United States government has lauded a significant step toward political reconciliation in Venezuela, celebrating an agreement between the 2015 National Assembly, led by Dinorah Figuera, and the interim government. This joint agenda, set to commence discussions on August 1, aims to promote "stability, democracy, and recovery" for the nation.

The State Department confirmed that the talks are designed to advance political reconciliation, particularly in the wake of the devastating earthquakes that have impacted Venezuela. A statement released on Thursday emphasized that this announcement "represents an important step forward in the process of political reconciliation" and builds upon earlier meetings between representatives.
