Venezuela pursues an open dialogue with the administration of US President Barack Obama in order to normalize relations, said Alberto Müller Rojas, the Vice-President of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).

"We are looking for a dialogue and, in fact, although at the beginning of his administration, President Obama attacked us, in his recent statements he has not done so." "It shows that he is recognizing the reality of Venezuela," said Müller Rojas during an interview with Mexican news agency Notimex.

According to the PSUV leader, it is in the interest of both Venezuela and the United States to "resume a cooperative relation." To move towards this scenario, "we have already sent lots of signals about our willingness to start a dialogue with the United States."

"We have not reduced trade and social relations (with the United States). We ensure them the energy supply. A dialogue is a win-win situation for both sides," said the Vice-President of the PSUV.
