He went on to discuss her replacement, Ambassador to the Organization of American States Samuel Moncada.

“I have asked the Vice Minister for North America and our Ambassador to the OAS, Samuel Moncada, to assume the Foreign Ministry of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to maintain our country’s struggle for truth in the world.”

 

OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro spoke about the position changes at a closing press conference of the 47th OAS General Assembly in Cancun, Mexico. He said he hoped Rodríguez’s substitute would mean “a change in the Venezuelan position on dealing with these problems with greater rationality, arguments and better communication.”

Almagro said rhetoric coming out of Venezuela has been one of obvious denial, which he hopes will change with a new ambassador stepping in to work with the OAS.

Samuel Moncada “definitely has experience working with us and we hope that this will be used in favor of the results that the country, the people, need,” Almagro said.

Maduro also named Major General Carlos Osorioas the new Minister of the Presidency. He will replace Admiral in Chief Carmen Meléndez. Additionally, Francisco Torrealba left the Labor Ministry and will be replaced by Nestor Ovalles.
