Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with his Venezuelan counterpart on election observers at the 2024 Presidential Election in that country.

The UK Government does not recognise the Maduro regime. Our key priority is a peaceful resolution to the current crisis in Venezuela, where multiple crises are afflicting its people. A democratic transition through free and fair presidential elections, held in accordance with international democratic standards, is essential to help to bring an end to the multiple crises afflicting the Venezuelan people.
