, and US Vice President Mike Pence took part in a meeting of the Lima Group in Colombia on Monday to discuss a joint strategy to resolve Venezuela's crisis.
"In the
Lima Group we're fighting to find a peaceful solution," said Peru's Foreign Affairs Minister Hugo de Zela.
Holmes Trujillo added that the group of 15 nations —which officially recognized Guaido as Venezuela's representative— was "trying hard to facilitate the opening of a humanitarian corridor to provide international assistance to alleviate, even if only partially, the serious humanitarian situation affecting so many Venezuelans."
Venezuela is wracked by a humanitarian crisis following years of recession and hyperinflation that have left shortages of basic necessities such as food and medicine.
He described the use of force as "unacceptable. It's not the solution to what's happening in Venezuela."
Four members of the Lima Group skipped the meeting, Holmes Trujillo said. Mexico, Costa Rica, Guyana, and Saint Lucia were not present.
