Delcy Rodríguez Arrives in New York to Participate in the UN General Assembly

Venezuelan official Delcy Rodríguez arrived in New York to participate in the UN General Assembly, as she shared in a social media post early Monday morning. The Venezuelan government confirmed on Sunday her attendance at the event, where she is also scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday. The announcement underwent a change shortly after it was published. The Ministry of Communication initially posted a message on X with details about Rodríguez's participation but deleted it minutes later. They then shared a new, shorter message reaffirming her attendance at the General Assembly. In the original post, the Ministry announced that Rodríguez would 'bring the voice of the nation to the global stage.' 'See you at the UN!' the Communication Ministry stated in that message, highlighting that Venezuela has regained its status and rejoined 'the diplomatic dynamics of the planet' thanks to 'previous efforts.' The last visit by a Venezuelan head of state to the General Assembly was by Nicolás Maduro in 2018. Maduro is currently detained in a prison just a few kilometers from the UN headquarters after being captured by U.S. forces in Caracas during a military operation in January. The White House announced on Friday that Trump and Rodríguez will meet on Tuesday in New York, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, marking the first meeting between the two. This will also be the first encounter between a U.S. president and a Venezuelan leader in over 11 years, since the brief meeting between Barack Obama and Maduro during the 2015 Summit of the Americas held in Panama.
