Venezuela's government and opposition are preparing to resume political talks this Saturday in Mexico after a hiatus of more than a year, opening a new chapter that could help pave the way for easing U.S. oil sanctions on the OPEC nation.

The talks are expected to cover a "social plan" to provide humanitarian aid of some $3 billion in U.N.-administered funds. They will also address U.S. sanctions on Venezuela, presidential elections and the status of hundreds of political prisoners. Renewed political dialogue in Venezuela has been repeatedly delayed due to disagreements over the terms, especially related to elections, as well as the origin of the funds for the social plan, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter.
