Speaking to Emirati TV channel Al Ghad, Venezuelan politician who has been partially recognized as Interim President of Venezuela Juan Guaido thanked Arab countries, especially Morocco, for supporting opposition forces in the country. The Kingdom is, so far, the only state in the region to back Guaido's actions since he declared himself interim president of Venezuela in January 2019. On January the 29th, Guaido spoke to Moroccan Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita, stressing that he wants to normalize ties with the Kingdom. On the other hand, Manuel Avendano, Foreign Affairs Advisor of the Venezuelan National Assembly, promised that his country would «reconsider its recognition of SADR under the government Juan Guaido».
