REUTERS/Leonardo Fernandez Viloria Published Oct 22, 2026, 04:36 AM Updated Oct 22, 2026, 04:36 AM Listen Oct 21 - British billionaire and Virgin Group owner Richard Branson said on Wednesday that Venezuela will attract more foreign investors once the country holds elections, as the South American nation seeks to boost capital inflows in sectors like oil and gas.
委内瑞拉代理总统德尔西·罗德里格斯和美国总统唐纳德·特朗普都表示委内瑞拉将举行选举，但未提供时间表。
Venezuela's Interim President Delcy Rodriguez and US President Donald Trump have both said Venezuela will hold elections but have not provided a timeline.
- 布兰森表示，委内瑞拉一旦举行选举将吸引更多投资，但目前投资者正等待更多法律确定性。
• The country will attract more investment once it holds elections, Branson said, but for now investors are waiting for more legal certainty.
- “很多显然取决于未来18个月，”布兰森表示，并补充说，一旦选举举行并建立法治，委内瑞拉将拥有“巨大机遇”。他未就可能的时间表作出详细阐述。
• "A lot obviously depends on the next 18 months," Branson said, adding that Venezuela will have a "tremendous opportunity" once elections occur and rule of law is established. He did not elaborate on a possible timeline.
- “投资需要确定性。它需要适当的司法程序和法律安全。它需要透明度，”布兰森表示。“而资本获取需要知道资本是安全的。”
• "Investment needs certainty. It needs a proper judicial process and legal security. It needs transparency," Branson said. "And an access to capital needs to know the capital is secure."
- 布兰森在委内瑞拉的一个活动上发表讲话，与会者包括企业家和投资基金代表，委内瑞拉外交部长费利克斯·普拉森西亚和工业部长路易斯·维耶加斯也出席了活动。
• Branson spoke at an event in Venezuela with entrepreneurs and investment fund representatives, which was also attended by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia and Industry Minister Luis Villegas.
- 罗德里格斯得到华盛顿的支持，在1月美国行动中尼古拉·马杜罗总统被捕后上台。她在9月的联合国演讲中承诺举行选举。
• Rodriguez, who has Washington's backing, assumed power after President Nicolas Maduro's capture in a US operation in January. She promised elections in a UN speech in September.
