In a recent National Conference for Dialogue in the Miranda state, Venezuela’s President confirmed past agreements with the opposition.

These deals took place in Barbados just last week. He expressed a hopeful outlook that sanctions against the country might soon be lifted fully and for good.

The President took this opportunity to thank all parties involved. He specifically thanked the opposition and national business leaders for their willingness to engage in dialogue.

“Our hands are open,” he said, stressing the importance of mutual respect and the search for common ground.

While speaking, he pointed out that the conference’s main goal was clear. It aimed to solidify the commitments reached in Barbados.

Moreover, it openly called for the removal of all existing sanctions against Venezuela. The leader made it clear that ending these sanctions could lead to decades of positive change.

Specifically, he mentioned the potential for democratic stability, economic recovery, and overall national prosperity.

A significant document emerged from the conference. It includes four critical points that all parties agreed upon.

First, they called for the immediate lifting of sanctions. Second, they emphasized the need to defend Venezuela’s territorial claims, particularly over the Esequibo region.

Third, the importance of safeguarding peace and democratic institutions received unanimous support.
