Delegates of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and opposition leader Juan Guaido will hold their first face-to-face meeting in Oslo next week.

Guaido said in a statement on Saturday that his representatives will talk with both the Norwegian government and with representatives of Maduro after the two sides traveled separately to Oslo last week to meet with the leaders of the Norwegian mediation effort.

"We announce that the representatives of the main political actors in Venezuela have decided to return to Oslo next week to continue a process facilitated by Norway," the Scandinavian country's foreign ministry confirmed in a statement.

"We reiterate our commitment to continue supporting the search for an agreed-upon solution between the parties in Venezuela," it said.

Last week, opposition lawmaker Stalin Gonzalez and two advisers represented Guaido's side, while Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez and Miranda state governor Hector Rodriguez went to Oslo on behalf of the government.

Each side met separately with Norwegian mediators, but there was no face-to-face meeting between government and opposition representatives, Gonzalez told local media.
