Venezuela's Acting President Calls for Major Oil Industry Reforms
Acting President Delcy Rodriguez delivered her first annual address to lawmakers. She urged them to approve significant reforms for Venezuela's state-run oil industry. Rodriguez wants to open the sector to greater foreign investment following the removal of former leader Nicolás Maduro.
Foreign Capital to Boost Infrastructure and Revenue
Rodriguez explained the proposed plan in detail. Foreign capital would flow into oil fields that currently lack proper infrastructure. This investment aims to increase revenue for the country. The funds would support vital public services and new development projects across Venezuela.
The Acting President highlighted a key achievement for the nation. Venezuela has successfully reached zero fuel imports. Rodriguez called this a major milestone for the country's energy independence. She stated that a new energy policy is now being forged within Venezuela.
A Call for Diplomatic Unity and International Outreach
Rodriguez also addressed Venezuela's position on the global stage. She called for diplomats to actively convey Venezuela's truth to the international community. The Acting President urged for national unity among all citizens.
She emphasized the need to wage a strong diplomatic battle with the United States. Rodriguez believes a united front is essential for Venezuela's foreign policy objectives. Her speech focused on economic renewal through oil reforms and strengthening the country's international standing.
