Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro wants to meet with his Mexican counterpart Enrique Pena Nieto to discuss the slump in crude oil prices when they attend a summit of Latin American and Caribbean leaders in Costa Rica on January 28-29, RIA Novosti cited a diplomatic source.
Recall that Maduro is wrapping up a tour that took him to Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Algeria, in what OPEC delegates described as a diplomatic push by Venezuela for an OPEC oil output cut.
Besides this, Maduro visited Russia and held talks with President Vladimir Putin. After the meeting he said Russia and Venezuela have agreed to increase cooperation in joint oil exploration projects.
