The Israeli delegation's work created a practical channel for cooperation between the two countries, and officials have now agreed to maintain this joint activity beyond the initial relief stage.
A joint statement issued by Israel and Venezuela also emphasized the importance of ties between the State of Israel and Venezuela's Jewish community.
The restoration of consular relations is expected to provide more formal and organized support for issues affecting community members.
The agreement between Sa'ar and Plasencia marks another diplomatic achievement for Israel in South America, though officials have not announced any plans at this stage for full restoration of diplomatic relations between Jerusalem and Caracas.
