Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodríguez will visit India this week for talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bolster bilateral ties against the backdrop of growing energy cooperation.
Rodríguez will hold talks with Modi on June 4, with the discussions expected to explore avenues for cooperation in energy security, trade, investment, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and transportation.
She will also visit several facilities connected with the energy, pharmaceutical, and automobile sectors to explore opportunities for collaboration.
The visit comes at a time when India has been diversifying energy purchases following supply disruptions caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the US-Iran conflict.
Venezuela emerged as India's third-largest oil supplier in May, after Russia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with daily figures for the month almost double the volumes recorded in April.
