The meeting resulted from an earlier meeting held on December 21, 2023, by PDVSA President Pedro Tellechea and PEMEX President Octavio Romero as part of Venezuela’s strategies to strengthen energy cooperation with Mexico.
“Both companies have promising potential through a coordinated and forward-looking partnership,” minister Tellechea wrote on social media after that meeting, sharing a photo of himself shaking hands with Romero.
Since October 2023, the US government has temporarily eased some of the illegal sanctions imposed on PDVSA and the Venezuelan people since 2016 in the United States’ bid to carry out “regime change” in Venezuela.
