Grenada Prime Minister receives Venezuela’s Acting President in diplomatic visit

Grenada Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell on Thursday received an official visit from Acting President Delcy Rodríguez of Venezuela, marking what both sides described as a key moment of diplomatic engagement between the two countries.

The visit, which took place at the Maurice Bishop International Airport in St. George’s, included full honours upon Rodríguez’s arrival, underscoring what officials described as a longstanding relationship of cooperation and mutual respect between the two nations.

According to the Office of the Prime Minister, the talks focused on strengthening bilateral ties, expanding cooperation, and advancing shared development goals. Both sides also emphasized continued partnership under what they described as a “win-win” framework aimed at deepening regional integration and economic collaboration.

The visit builds on a cooperation roadmap signed in April 2025 during Prime Minister Mitchell’s trip to Caracas, which laid out areas of mutual interest, including development and regional coordination.

Diplomatic relations between Grenada and Venezuela, formally established in 1977, have grown steadily over the years through regular high-level exchanges and collaboration across multiple sectors. Rodríguez previously visited Grenada in 2024 during independence celebrations, further reflecting the countries’ ongoing diplomatic engagement.

Her current visit is aimed at consolidating existing agreements and reinforcing cooperation mechanisms between the two governments, with both sides highlighting continuity in their bilateral relationship.

The engagement comes as regional partners continue to navigate shifting geopolitical and economic dynamics across the Caribbean and Latin America, with Grenada maintaining its focus on diplomatic dialogue and cooperation.
