Venezuelan security forces surrounding the Argentine embassy in Venezuela has drawn attention

Recently, the situation in Venezuela has drawn international attention. On September 6 local time, Venezuela revoked Brazil's custodianship of the Argentine embassy in Venezuela and dispatched security forces to surround the Argentine embassy in Venezuela. It is reported that several leaders of the Venezuelan opposition are taking political asylum in the embassy.

The cause of this incident can be traced back to the changes in Venezuela's political situation. On July 29, the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the recall of diplomatic personnel from Argentina, Chile, Peru and other countries. At the same time, it required the diplomatic personnel of these countries to withdraw from Venezuela because these countries tried not to recognize the results of the Venezuelan presidential election. At noon on August 1, the Argentine embassy in Venezuela was closed as decided by the Venezuelan government. The Brazilian government accepted the request of the Argentine government on July 31 to represent Argentina's interests in Venezuela during the closure of its embassy.

After the incident, Argentina and Brazil responded quickly. Late at night on the 6th local time, Argentine Security Minister Patricia Bullrich said that Venezuela's move violated all international laws and called on the international community and the Venezuelan people to resist this act of the Venezuelan government. She emphasized that all Argentines firmly oppose any form of invasion of the Argentine embassy. The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in the early morning of September 7 that the current focus is to ensure the safety of everyone in the embassy. Brazil will continue to represent Argentina's interests in Venezuela. If Venezuela wants to revoke the authorization, it must wait until an alternative country is determined before revocation. At the same time, Brazil continues to shoulder this responsibility of representing Argentina's interests in Venezuela.

The international community is also highly concerned about this incident, and all parties are closely following the development of the situation. The action of Venezuelan security forces surrounding the Argentine embassy in Venezuela has made the regional situation more complex and sensitive. How it will develop in the future and how the relevant parties will properly handle it will have an important impact on the relations between Venezuela and neighboring countries and regional stability. The follow-up situation remains to be further observed and reported.
