World Bank Delegation to Hold First Venezuela Talks Since Diplomatic Thaw

A World Bank delegation will travel to Caracas for talks with Venezuelan government officials, marking the institution's first high-level engagement since the two parties restored formal relations last month. The visit follows months of diplomatic repositioning in the international financial community's approach to Venezuela. World Bank representatives will meet with government authorities to discuss economic cooperation and potential lending frameworks. The delegation will address foundational governance and structural reform priorities, according to people familiar with the matter. The visit represents an initial step in a longer-term engagement between the World Bank and Caracas.
