Caracas, May 18 (UNI) Talks in Norway this week with representatives of Venezuela's government and the opposition sought to "build a peaceful agenda" for the crisis-stricken South American country, President Nicolas Maduro has said.
Norway's foreign ministry, which has a tradition of conflict mediation, said earlier on Friday that the talks were in an "exploratory phase", said an Aljazeera News report.
The representatives of each side arrived in the Nordic country this week, signalling a fresh approach to ending months of tension that escalated after a failed uprising last month led by opposition leader Juan Guaido, who called on the military to overthrow Maduro.
