(Reuters) – G7 foreign ministers have approved a declaration which expresses solidarity with the Venezuelan people and voices concern about the announced election results, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Wednesday.
“We call on Venezuelan representatives to publish detailed election results in full transparency and we ask electoral representatives to immediately share all information with the opposition and independent observers,” a statement by the ministers of the Group of Seven industrialised democracies seen by Reuters said.
“We call for maximum restraint and for a peaceful, democratic and Venezuelan-led solution,” the letter said. Italy currently holds the rotating presidency of the G7.
