根据美国国务院周四发布的媒体通报,美国与委内瑞拉临时当局已同意重新建立外交和领事关系。
“美国与委内瑞拉临时当局已同意重新建立外交和领事关系,”美国国务院在3月5日发布的声明中表示。
美国国务院称,该协议旨在”促进我们共同努力,在委内瑞拉推动稳定、支持经济复苏并推进政治和解。
“我们的参与重点是通过分阶段进程帮助委内瑞拉人民前进,为向民选政府的和平过渡创造条件。”
该公告证实了两国政府之间外交和领事关系的恢复。美国国务院没有具体说明大使馆运作或签证服务何时可能恢复。
声明也没有提及潜在的制裁变化、概述移民或安全合作措施,也没有提供关于未来外交接触的更多细节。
这一宣布是在美国数月来与委内瑞拉接触之后作出的。

美国内政部长道格·伯加姆(Doug Burgum)于3月4日前往加拉加斯,并在为期两天的访问中与委内瑞拉临时总统德尔西·罗德里格斯(Delcy Rodríguez)举行了会谈,美国和委内瑞拉官员表示。
伯加姆讨论了与采矿和关键矿产供应链相关的机会,并表示委内瑞拉临时政府已为寻求在该国投资的外国矿业公司提供了安全保证。
美国军队于1月3日在加拉加斯抓获了前委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗(Nicolás Maduro)。马杜罗及其妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯(Cilia Flores)两天后在纽约联邦法院对包括贩毒恐怖主义共谋、可卡因进口共谋和武器相关罪行在内的指控不认罪。
外交和领事关系通常涉及政府间接触以及使馆和领事馆的运作,这些运作有助于签证、公民服务和外交协调。
“美国仍然致力于支持委内瑞拉人民,并与该地区的合作伙伴合作,以推进稳定与繁荣,”声明说。

The United States and Venezuela’s interim authorities have agreed to reestablish diplomatic and consular relations, according to a State Department media note issued Thursday.
“The United States and Venezuela’s interim authorities have agreed to reestablish diplomatic and consular relations,” the State Department said in a statement released March 5.
The State Department said the agreement is intended to “facilitate our joint efforts to promote stability, support economic recovery and advance political reconciliation in Venezuela.
“Our engagement is focused on helping the Venezuelan people move forward through a phased process that creates the conditions for a peaceful transition to a democratically elected government.”
The announcement confirms the restoration of diplomatic and consular relations between the two governments. The State Department did not specify when embassy operations or visa services may resume.
The statement also did not address potential sanctions changes, outline migration or security cooperation measures or provide additional details about diplomatic engagement moving forward.
The announcement comes after months of U.S. engagement in Venezuela.

U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum traveled to Caracas March 4 and held meetings with Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodríguez during a two-day visit, U.S. and Venezuelan officials said.
Burgum discussed opportunities related to mining and critical minerals supply chains and said the Venezuelan interim government had offered security assurances for foreign mining companies seeking to invest in the country.
U.S. forces captured former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro Jan. 3 in Caracas. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, pleaded not guilty two days later in federal court in New York to charges including narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy and weapons-related offenses.
Diplomatic and consular relations typically involve government-to-government engagement as well as the operation of embassies and consulates that facilitate visas, citizen services and diplomatic coordination.

“The United States remains committed to supporting the Venezuelan people and working with partners across the region to advance stability and prosperity,” the statement said.
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
