Jorge Rodríguez announced during a session of the National Assembly on Tuesday the formation of the Parliamentary Friendship Group between the United States and Venezuela, which will be composed of deputies Antonio Ecarri, Oliver Ponce, Pablo Pérez, Francisco Torrealba, Orlando Camacho, Aurora Paredes, Félix Freites, Rodolfo Sanz, and Ilenia Medina.

On March 24, amid the gradual process of restoring relations between Caracas and Washington, the Venezuelan National Assembly approved the creation of a new “Venezuela–United States Parliamentary Friendship Group,” an initiative promoted by opposition deputy Antonio Ecarri and supported by the President of Parliament, Jorge Rodríguez. The proposal seeks to open an institutional channel of direct dialogue with the U.S. Congress and to revive parliamentary diplomacy mechanisms similar to those that existed during the so-called Boston Group in the early 2000s.
