Caracas, April 20, 2022 (venezuelanalysis.com) – Argentine President Alberto Fernández announced his government’s decision to fully normalize relations with Venezuela leaving behind years of diplomatic tensions. “We believe these are sovereign actions and we will always favor dialogue.”Diplomatic relations between Argentina and Venezuela became strained under the former right-wing President Mauricio Macri’s administration. Diplomatic relations with Caracas improved but never fully normalized. Ecuador has likewise maintained strained ties with the Bolivarian government since 2018 when right-wing former president Lenín Moreno took power. Caracas’ tensest relations have been with its neighboring country Colombia led by right-wing President Iván Duque, Washington’s closest ally in the region.
