Chile appoints first ambassador to Venezuela since 2018
30 May, 2023
Chile’s president designated a former senator as the new ambassador to Venezuela on May 25. The move signals a renewed relationship between the two countries. It was a step in hopes of advancing political freedom in Venezuela.
President Gabriel Boric assigned former senator Jaime Gazmuri as the new Chilean ambassador to Venezuela on May 25. Foreign Affairs Minister Alberto van Klaveren said the appointment came at a time when Chile is undergoing “an entirely different moment” with Venezuela.
Chile has never broken its diplomatic relations with Venezuela despite all the differences in the past, Klaveren said. Venezuela has always had an ambassador in Chile, and Chile is always interested in having a good working relation with Venezuela, as both countries have common interest in various topics, he said.
“One of the topics is migration, and in addition, Venezuela is entering a political process that we think is interesting,” Klaveren told Cooperativa.
