CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Wednesday said he was willing to re-establish consular relations with neighbouring Colombia, amid a standoff between the two countries over a fugitive former Colombian senator who was captured in Venezuela.
Maduro, a socialist, last year suspended relations and gave Colombian diplomatic and consular staff 24 hours to depart in response to conservative President Ivan Duque's government's help to the Venezuelan opposition's efforts to bring humanitarian aid into the crisis-stricken country.
