Brazilian diplomatic mission sent to Caracas

On January 18, a Brazilian diplomatic mission arrived in Caracas in order to start the arrangements for the reopening of the Brazilian Embassy in Venezuela. Led by Ambassador Flávio Macieira, the mission will assess the conditions of the buildings and take the first steps towards the full operation of the Brazilian representation, initially at the Chargé d'Affaires level.

The mission reflects the Brazilian government's decision to normalize bilateral relations, allowing for the resumption of talks with the Venezuelan government on the different issues that make up the agenda between the two countries.

Dialogue with Venezuela, a country with which Brazil shares historic ties of friendship and cooperation, as well as a long border, is fundamental not only for the adequate follow-up of the bilateral agenda, but also for the revitalization of regional integration.

The mission will also be responsible for verifying the necessary measures for the timely reestablishment of consular services to the Brazilian community in Venezuela.
