Venezuela’s Rodriguez, Colombia’s Petro say they will meet ‘soon’

Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez and Colombian President Gustavo Petro have agreed to a bilateral meeting to discuss security, economic, and energy issues. Petro invited Rodriguez to meet in the border city of Cucuta, Colombia, to specifically address energy cooperation and infrastructure projects. The meeting aims to strengthen cooperation and relations between the two countries, which share a 2,200-kilometer border. This announcement follows the recent change in Venezuela's leadership, with Rodriguez appointed acting president after the removal of Nicolas Maduro in early January 2026. The meeting's timing remains unspecified, but both leaders expressed commitment to promoting understanding and shared benefits for their respective populations.
