MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Negotiators on both sides of Venezuela's political divide will return to Mexico this week to kick off a second round of talks aimed at easing the once prosperous country's long-running crisis which has forced millions to flee.

Representatives of embattled socialist President Nicolas Maduro and the opposition to his government will meet on Friday afternoon, after a first round of negotiations was held in the Mexican capital last month.
