The governments of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Dominican Republic have formalized the start of a process of gradual normalization of their diplomatic and consular relations, according to an official statement issued this Sunday.
This strategic decision comes after a sustained dialogue process between both nations and is based on a roadmap that will be developed by mutual agreement to ensure the strength of this new approach.
According to the authorities, the implementation of this roadmap will be carried out in phases:
The first stage will focus on adopting the necessary measures to restore consular services, thus giving priority to the needs of nationals in both territories.
The second stage will gradually move towards the full normalization of diplomatic relations, following a timetable agreed upon by both parties in due course.
Strengthening Historical Ties The statement emphasizes that this measure reflects a firm commitment to "strengthening institutional channels of communication." The primary objective is to benefit the citizens of both countries and honor the "historical ties of friendship" that have traditionally united Venezuela and the Dominican Republic.
To reaffirm their commitment to this process, the official document emphasizes that "both Governments reaffirm their willingness to conduct this process through dialogue, mutual respect and adherence to the principles of international law."
This announcement marks a milestone in the region's foreign policy, betting on diplomacy and mutual understanding for the benefit of their respective peoples.
