Venezuela's Maduro hopeful about talks with opposition

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Friday that this week's talks in the Dominican Republic between representatives of his government and leaders of the MUD opposition coalition were a success.


"After entire weeks of conversation, we are close to an accord of political co-existence, of peace and sovereignty, between the Venezuela delegation and the Venezuelan opposition. We are very close," the leftist president said in a broadcast address.
