Venezuela eyes 'dialogue' with EU, UK

Venezuela's interim government said it is ready "to move forward in a stage of productive relations" with the European Union and Britain following talks with their envoys after Nicolas Maduro was ousted as president during a US military operation.

Venezuela's foreign minister Yvan Gil called for "opening channels of dialogue that are increasingly deeper and more intense" with the EU, which did not recognize Maduro as the country's legitimate leader.
