Venezuela decided on Friday to increase its diplomatic representation
in Palestine to full embassy status, according to the Venezuelan
minister for foreign affairs.
“Following instructions from President Nicolás Maduro, we will raise
our representation in the heroic Palestinian states to embassy level,”
Delcy Rodríguez announced on social media Friday evening.
The decision comes after a visit by Palestinian foreign affairs
minister Riyad al-Maliki to Venezuela this week, during which 18
agreements of cooperation and a contract were signed covering a wide
range of strategic areas.
Formal diplomatic ties between the two nations were established in
2009 under late President Hugo Chávez. Venezuela went on to expel
Israeli representatives as a sign of support for the Palestinian cause
especially after Israel’s summer aggression on Gaza.
