Crude Pivot: Venezuela Acting President Delcy Rodríguez To Meet PM Modi On Working Visit To India

Venezuela’s Acting President Delcy Rodríguez will lead a high-powered ministerial delegation on an official working visit to India from June 3 to 7, the Ministry of External Affairs confirmed. After the initial Big Cats Alliance Summit was deferred, the diplomatic itinerary has shifted to focus heavily on critical energy and economic interests. Rodríguez will hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, spanning trade, pharmaceuticals, and infrastructure. The historic sixth visit arrives at a crucial juncture as New Delhi aggressively seeks to scale up cheaper South American crude imports to offset intense supply disruptions in West Asia.
