Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is in India, seeking to strengthen energy cooperation between the two nations. The visit comes at a time when Venezuela is struggling to maintain its oil production, which has been severely impacted by US sanctions. As a devotee of the late spiritual leader Sathya Sai Baba, Maduro is likely to visit the Puttaparthi ashram in Andhra Pradesh, where Sai Baba spent most of his life. With India's growing energy demands and Venezuela's vast oil reserves, the two countries are poised to explore new areas of collaboration in the energy sector.
