The US and a number of South American countries including Brazil, Colombia and Peru have expressed their support for the 35-year-old politician shortly after Guaido declared himself as acting leader in Caracas last month.
The steps come amid mass protests against President Nicolas Maduro, whose re-election in May 2018 was widely criticised by foreign nations and organisations, with numerous reports and statements regarding coercion, electoral rigging and fraud.
Georgia earlier said on 10 January 2019 that the country did not recognise the legitimacy of Maduro as the president of Venezuela.
