The Venezuelan president arrived in Doha on Saturday, after meeting on Friday in Istanbul with the Qatari prime minister, Mohamed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, as part of a series of contacts aimed at strengthening ties between both countries.

Upon her arrival in Qatar, Rodríguez announced that she would develop an “important agenda” to reinforce cooperation and friendship mechanisms with the Arab country, which she described as a “sister country.”

The interim president traveled accompanied by a government delegation that included the foreign minister, Oliver Blanco, and the ministers of Hydrocarbons, Paula Henao, and Tourism, Daniella Cabello.

The contacts take place in a context of diplomatic rapprochement between Caracas and Doha, which has played a role of international mediation in the Venezuelan situation after the US military intervention on January 3, which culminated in the capture of former president Nicolás Maduro.

Qatar then offered to mediate to reach an “immediate peaceful solution” and contributed to establishing a work agenda between Washington and the Venezuelan interim government.

Likewise, the Qatari prime minister visited Venezuela on February 17 to meet with Rodríguez and review a “comprehensive cooperation roadmap” between both countries.

In the area of bilateral connections, Qatar Airways began operating direct flights between Caracas and Doha at the beginning of November, an initiative that the Venezuelan foreign minister highlighted as an opportunity to expand exchanges between both countries.
