Delcy Rodríguez visits Suriname to strengthen economic and energy ties
Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez has arrived in Suriname to strengthen economic ties, focusing on cooperation in oil, gas, agriculture, fishing, and tourism. During her visit, Rodríguez met with Surinamese President Jennifer Geerlings-Simons to discuss bilateral integration and review existing agreements. The visit aims to formalize new alliances and activate a High-Level Mixed Commission to manage joint projects.
Simultaneously, diplomatic efforts are underway to mend relations between Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago. Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar expressed optimism regarding a potential meeting with Rodríguez on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York later this month. Despite Persad-Bissessar being declared persona non grata by the Venezuelan National Assembly in late 2025, she signaled a desire for renewed engagement, particularly concerning the Loran-Manatee gas field and the future of Venezuelan natural gas supply to the island.
In the United States, Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that a meeting with Rodríguez could occur if she attends the UN General Assembly, reflecting the ongoing diplomatic dynamics following the capture of Nicolás Maduro in January 2026.
