OSLO: Talks between Venezuela's government and opposition on ending months of crisis were under way in Norway, sources said on Tuesday , but Washington insisted that the only item for discussion should be President Nicolas Maduro's removal.
Sources close to the process told AFP that the talks were taking place in Oslo. The Norwegian foreign ministry declined to comment. "While previous efforts to negotiate have failed because the regime has used them to divide the opposition and gain time, we hope that the talks in Oslo will focus on the departure of Maduro as a pre-condition for progress."
"Whatever is discussed in there, whatever is decided, has absolutely no legitimacy because it is an illegitimate regime presiding over that body," the US ambassador to the conference, Robert Wood, told reporters outside the council's chamber.
