Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, said the transitional government has begun to unblock the country's sovereign resources frozen abroad, with the funds to be allocated to investments in health care, public services and the energy industry.
Rodríguez made the remarks during an official event at the University Hospital of Caracas, where she led the inauguration of the Nephrology Service and a day of care for kidney patients, broadcast by state-run Venezolana de Televisión.
"We are unblocking resources from Venezuela that belong to the Venezuelan people," Rodríguez said during her speech. "That will allow us to invest significant resources in hospital equipment, equipment that we are acquiring in the United States and in other countries -- equipment for the electricity sector and for the gas industry in Venezuela."
She said the process is taking place amid diplomatic channels with Washington, and that "We have proposed that our differences and our divergences be resolved through diplomatic dialogue -- through political conversation between authorities of one country and another.
