<p>We have maintained regular discussions with key actors on Venezuela following UK
recognition of Juan Guaido as interim Venezuelan President on 4 February 2019. The
Minister for Europe and the Americas attended the Lima Group meeting of Foreign Ministers
in Ottawa in February. In March, he spoke with the Chilean Foreign Minister, Ampuero,
and met the Cuban Vice President, Cabrisas and Deputy Foreign Minister, Medina in
Havana. We discussed the issue with Colombian President, Duque during his UK visit.
We are a member of the EU-led International Contact Group which is leading international
efforts towards a peaceful resolution of the crisis alongside the Lima Group, and
support Norwegian-facilitated talks between the regime and opposition in Oslo. The
Foreign and Commonwealth Office's Director for the Americas will attend the OAS Summit
in Medellin on 26-28 June.</p>
