Government and opposition close in on peace deal, minister says
VENEZUELA’S government and opposition are close to a peace deal, Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez said last night.
The Venezuelan News Agency reported that talks at the Dominican Republic’s Foreign Ministry in Santo Domingo had adjourned for several hours so that the two delegations could hold separate meetings and then returned to the negotiating table.
Reporter Boris Castellano of Venezolana de Television said they were expected to reach a deal soon in the talks that began last Thursday.
