"Last week, 14 member countries, including regional power-houses Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the United States, called for the OAS meeting on Venezuela, ratcheting up regional pressure on Maduro`s socialist government.
WASHINGTON Regional governments on Tuesday called on the Organization of American States to come up with a plan "in the shortest possible time" to address Venezuela`s political and humanitarian crisis.
Previous efforts by regional leaders and the Vatican to broker political talks between the government and opposition have so far failed.
Before Tuesday`s session Samuel Moncada, Venezuela`s deputy minister of foreign affairs for North America, again objected to the meeting, arguing it violated OAS rules on interfering in members` internal affairs.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez visited the OAS on Monday to have the meeting suspended, saying Almagro was being strong-armed by the United States` hostile policy toward Venezuela.
