NEW DELHI: India gave a red-carpet welcome on Thursday to Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodriguez, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi held talks to bolster trade between the oil exporter and his energy-hungry nation.
Rodriguez has led Venezuela, which accounts for around 17 percent of global crude reserves, since January, when US forces captured former socialist president Nicolas Maduro.
