Please join The Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and the Inter-American Dialogue for an upcoming webinar to discuss prospects for negotiations in Venezuela:

While recent months have seen quiet progress in talks between the Venezuelan government and the opposition, the formal negotiations process that began last year in Mexico City has not yet resumed. Nevertheless, key stakeholders in the international community remain interested in working to restart these negotiations, with the expectation that they can restore the country’s democratic institutions and lead to a just, peaceful solution to the crisis in Venezuela.  

In this context, the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), and the Inter-American Dialogue are pleased to host a presentation by selected members of the Grupo Experto para Venezuela (GEV): an initiative of the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT) that brings together a group of 16 high-level Venezuelan experts based in the country who are committed to promoting ideas for a peaceful, negotiated, constitutional solution to the country’s crisis.
