"Today, we are formally resuming operations at the US Embassy in Caracas, marking a new chapter in our diplomatic presence in Venezuela. The resumption of operations at US Embassy Caracas is a key milestone in implementing the President's three-phase plan for Venezuela and will strengthen our ability to engage directly with Venezuela's interim government, civil society, and the private sector."
"The US has appointed Laura F. Dogu, a veteran diplomat with past ambassadorial postings in the region in Honduras and Nicaragua, as charge d'affaires to Venezuela. She arrived in late January to lead the US government's efforts on the ground."
The US State Department has reopened its embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, after closing it in March 2019 due to political tensions. The reopening follows the military operation that captured former President Nicolas Maduro in January. Laura F. Dogu has been appointed as charge d'affaires to lead US efforts in Venezuela. While the embassy's diplomatic operations are resuming, the chancery building requires restoration due to mold buildup from inactivity. This reopening is part of a broader plan to strengthen engagement with Venezuela's interim government and civil society.
