Spanish President Pedro Sánchez met with Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, in New York during the opening of the 81st UN General Assembly. Rodríguez approached Sánchez to discuss the current situation in Venezuela and exchange formal greetings.
The Spanish leader reaffirmed his nation's commitment to Venezuela and the future of the wider region. Meanwhile, Sánchez held talks with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham but will skip a US-hosted reception due to scheduling conflicts at the global summit.
This diplomatic encounter precedes a scheduled meeting between Rodríguez and US President Donald Trump on Tuesday. The discussions highlight Spain's ongoing engagement with Venezuelan leadership as international focus intensifies during the UN proceedings.
