Lima Group bloc will meet in Canada on Feb. 4 for Venezuela talks

Canada will host a meeting of the Lima Group regional bloc on Feb. 4 to discuss the next steps in Venezuela, where opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself interim president, a top official said on Monday.

Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters that the meeting would be held in the capital Ottawa. Most members of the 14-nation bloc do not recognize President Nicolas Maduro as Venezuela's legitimate leader. (Reporting by David Ljunggren Editing by James Dalgleish)
