Venezuela: Foreign Relations
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of relations between the UK and Venezuela.
- Answer
-
The UK aspires to have good relations with Venezuela but the current political situation there has put a strain on the relationship as we have joined international condemnation of the Venezuelan Government's recent actions. Our Embassy maintains a practical working relationship with the Venezuelan Government. Where we can, we work with the Government on a range of priority issues including human rights, democracy challenges, counter-narcotics, climate change and efforts to protect UK commercial interests. This work supports our long-term vision for Venezuela’s stability, democracy and prosperity.
