The U.S. Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, has resumed its operations after a 7-year hiatus following the re-establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. According to news reports, the U.S. Embassy in Caracas has reopened its doors with the normalization of diplomatic relations.
In a press release from the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, it was stated, "We have officially resumed our activities at the Caracas Embassy, representing a new era in our diplomatic presence in Venezuela." The statement emphasized that this step would strengthen the capacity to engage in direct dialogue with the interim government, civil society, and the private sector in Venezuela.
IT WAS SUSPENDED IN 2019
The reopening of the embassy is considered a critical turning point in the U.S. administration's three-phase plan regarding Venezuela.
On the other hand, as part of the diplomatic normalization process, Venezuela has also regained control of its embassy building in Washington. The U.S. Embassy located in the Baruta district of the capital Caracas has been closed since the diplomatic relations between the two countries were suspended in 2019. The U.S. Department of State had announced that a delegation visited Caracas to assess the possibility of reopening the embassy.
