Venezuela’s Delcy Rodríguez Holds Talks in Turkey with Erdogan on Trade, Energy and Mining
The talks focused on trade, energy and mining as Turkey and Venezuela seek to raise bilateral trade from $448 million to $3 billion.
- On Monday, Delcy Rodriguez arrived in Istanbul for an official visit to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, continuing her international tour after recent stops in India.
- Strong political ties between Turkey and Venezuela grew after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro supported Erdogan during the 2016 attempted coup, generating nearly $1bn in trade turnover by 2023.
- Heavy sanctions previously hampered energy and mining initiatives, but the Trump administration eased some restrictions earlier this year, potentially opening the way for new Turkish investment.
- Ankara remains interested in Venezuelan oil and gold sectors, with energy ministers having signed two separate memorandums of understanding in February 2024 covering these resource areas.
- After Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was transferred to a detention center in New York, Rodriguez took over and has since overseen an expansion of interests including those of oil company Chevron.
