Lorent Saleh arrived in Madrid on Saturday on a flight from Caracas, accompanied by the State Secretary for Cooperation and for Ibero-America and the Caribbean, Juan Pablo de Laiglesia, who was on a working visit to Caracas from 9 to 12 October, during which time he held meetings with members of government, representatives of the opposition, civil society organisations, the Spanish community and Spanish companies.

The Government of Spain considers that this decision taken by the Government of Venezuela is a step in the right direction and helps contribute towards a climate of confidence that allows a democratic, peaceful and negotiated solution for the Venezuelan people.

Spain reiterates its interest in constructively contributing to this goal of reconciliation among the Venezuelan people.
