He presented photos of the first meeting held in the Ministry of Foreign Affair in Caracas between US diplomats and Simon Gordils, Deputy Minister for International Cooperation and explain that he couldn’t handle the meeting personally because he was defending Venezuela in UN Security Council.
He also presented to the media the diplomatic notes exchanged between the remaining US diplomatic personal in Caracas and the legitimate and only Venezuelan Government. And implied that those diplomatic notes are a recognition of President Maduro because they are directed to his government.
