Interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez will make a visit to Colombia next week, as confirmed by Colombian media reports. The details of her visit are yet to be revealed, including the official agenda, but it is anticipated that she will meet with President Gustavo Petro, who extended the invitation following his ascendancy to the presidency after the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

The backdrop of this visit reflects a growing willingness for cooperation between Venezuela and Colombia, particularly concerning security issues and oil sales, with an openness to collaborate with the United States. On January 21, Rodríguez predicted a significant increase in Venezuelan oil revenues for 2026, estimating a jump of 37%, alongside plans to establish two sovereign funds for financial management, which she promises will have a transparency mechanism in place.

During a meeting on February 3 with U.S. President Donald Trump, Petro raised the possibility of Ecopetrol's involvement in the economic revitalization of Venezuela. This move signals a potential shift in regional dynamics and may have broader implications for both countries' relations and their interactions with the United States regarding economic and security cooperation.
