The Governments of Uruguay and Mexico, by virtue of the neutral position that both have adopted regarding Venezuela, have decided to organize an international conference with representatives of the main countries and international organizations that have shared this position in the face of this situation. The purpose of the conference is to lay the foundations to establish a new dialogue mechanism that, with the inclusion of all Venezuelan forces, helps to restore stability and peace in that country.

Both governments have adopted a non-intervention position, while at the same time they have expressed their concern about the human rights situation in Venezuela. Therefore, they have decided to call for an inclusive and credible dialogue that will solve once and for all the delicate situation that our Venezuelan brothers are going through.
