We welcome @MariaCorinaYA's return to Venezuela. It is another encouraging sign of the progress being made towards a more open and democratic future. The UK will continue to support an inclusive political process that delivers free and fair elections for all Venezuelans.

The UK believes international law must apply equally and fairly to all.
