Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro late on Friday challenged his US counterpart Barack Obama to hold "high-level talks," in the context of the political divide between the two countries.
"I call for dialogue with you, President Obama. I call for dialogue between the patriot, revolutionary Venezuela and the United States and its Government. Take the challenge. Let us launch high-level talks and put the truth on the table," said Maduro at a press conference with foreign journalists at the presidential palace of Miraflores.
"I then propose a comprehensive dialogue. Let us appoint ambassadors, no matter if they are endorsed yet, and let us sit down and talk," he remarked.
"Appoint (Secretary of State) John Kerry or whoever you may want to designate. I am appointing Foreign Minister Elías Jaua to engage in dialogue, debate. We want to show you all the things we know about you," said President Maduro.
