"The move comes almost one month after US forces abducted Venezuela's then-president, Nicolas Maduro, from the presidential palace in Caracas, on the orders of US President Donald Trump. Maduro was then taken to a prison in New York, and is facing drug trafficking and narcoterrorism conspiracy charges. The move has been widely criticised as a violation of international law."
"Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs Yvan Gil wrote on Telegram that he had received Dogu, and that talks would centre on creating a roadmap on matters of bilateral interest as well as addressing and resolving existing differences through diplomatic dialogue and on the basis of mutual respect and international law.

The visit follows the alleged abduction of then-president Nicolas Maduro by US forces and his transfer to a New York prison on drug trafficking and narcoterrorism conspiracy charges, an action criticised as a violation of international law. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said he received Dogu and that talks will create a roadmap on bilateral interests and resolve differences through diplomatic dialogue and mutual respect.
