The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has made the decision to revoke, immediately, the approval granted to the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil to exercise the representation of the interests of the Argentine Republic and its nationals in Venezuelan territory. This was announced this Saturday by the Venezuelan Chancellory through a statement that we copy as follows:
“The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has made the decision to revoke, immediately, the approval granted to the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil to exercise the representation of the interests of the Argentine Republic and its nationals in Venezuelan territory, as well as the custody of the premises of the diplomatic mission including its assets and archives, as announced in the joint statement dated August 5, 2024. A decision of which the concerned states have been notified through diplomatic channels.
Venezuela is forced to take this decision motivated by the evidence of the use of the facilities of this diplomatic mission for the planning of terrorist activities and assassination attempts against the Constitutional President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, and against the Executive Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez Gómez, by the fugitives from Venezuelan justice who remain within it.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, as the receiving State, takes this measure in accordance and full compliance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963.”
