Venezuela's government and its political opposition on Tuesday agreed to electoral guarantees for 2024 presidential elections and measures they said would protect the country's national interests, paving the way for some U.S. sanctions relief.
A presidential election will take place in the latter half of 2024, the electoral deal said, and international observers will be allowed to monitor the vote.
The United States has long said it would lift some of its sanctions on President Nicolas Maduro's government in exchange for democratic concessions from the president.Tuesday's meeting in Barbados between the government and opposition was their first in 11 months.Maduro, president since 2013, is expected to run for re-election but has not yet formalized his candidacy. His government has banned prominent opposition figures from running.
