CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Friday named the new head of state oil company PDVSA as Pedro Rafael Tellechea and said Yvan Gil Pinto would become the country’s new foreign minister.
Tellechea has “great experience” leading state chemical company Pequiven and will “consolidate the momentum of the national oil industry,” Maduro said on Twitter.
