The diplomatic talks between India and Venezuela could lead to increased trade and investment, particularly in energy and digital technology, positively impacting both economies. However, the political instability in Venezuela following the capture of Nicolas Maduro and strained relations with the United States introduce uncertainty and potential risks for investors.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India held telephonic discussions with Delcy Rodriguez, the Acting President of Venezuela, to deepen bilateral cooperation across various sectors including trade, investment, energy, and digital technology. This conversation follows the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by the United States military on January 3, who is now facing charges of drug trafficking and narco-terrorism. Delcy Rodriguez has since consolidated power, with Venezuela's military and police forces pledging loyalty to her. India has expressed deep concern over the developments in Venezuela and called for peaceful dialogue, while Rodriguez has condemned the US operation as an invasion and kidnapping, damaging bilateral ties.
