The meeting comes nearly one month after the US military attacked Venezuela and seized President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, leaving at least 100 people dead and dozens injured.

Despite having described the US aggression as a serious violation of international law, the acting president has said that the priority is to preserve national stability.
