MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Venezuela’s government and opposition have asked the United Nations to manage several billions of dollars held in foreign banks, which will be gradually unfrozen to combat a humanitarian crisis in the South American country, delegates announced in Mexico City on Saturday.
Venezuelan government representatives arrived in Mexico City on Friday to sign a “social agreement” with their political opponents, after talks between the two sides have been on ice for more than a year.
