Delcy Rodríguez, the Interim President of Venezuela, intends to travel to the UN General Assembly in New York next week. This trip is considered the first attendance of a Venezuelan president at this conference in recent years.
Planning High-Level Meetings
According to reports, Rodríguez is set to hold several meetings with high-ranking officials during this trip. Sources familiar with these plans have refrained from disclosing their names due to the lack of public announcement of details.

Possible Meetings with American Officials
The United States government, including the President and Secretary of State, has expressed that if Rodríguez travels to New York, there may be opportunities for meetings. Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, indicated last week that if Rodríguez attends the General Assembly, meetings are likely to take place. He also stated that they have spoken several times since January.
This trip comes at a time when the political situation in Venezuela has undergone significant changes in recent months. Among these developments is the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, the former president, which occurred on January 3 and led to tensions and new developments in the country.
Additionally, following these developments, Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as interim president, and changes were made to the country's oil laws. Several political prisoners were also released, which is considered one of the consequences of the new political situation.
