The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has cautioned Indian citizens against unnecessary travel to Venezuela due to recent developments and the changing security situation in the country. The advisory, without specifying reasons, urges Indians to be vigilant and exercise caution. For those already in Venezuela, the MEA recommends limiting movements, staying in touch with the Indian Embassy in Caracas, and using provided contact details for assistance.
Amid escalating tensions in Venezuela, US President Donald Trump disclosed that Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife were flown to the USS Iwo Jima in the Caribbean. Maduro faces charges in a New York court, including drug-related offenses. The US operation, reportedly involving elite units and CIA intelligence, has drawn criticism and warnings from both US and Venezuelan officials.
The MEA’s advisory reflects concerns over the uncertain situation in Venezuela and the potential risks to foreign nationals, including Indians, amidst the ongoing political and security developments. Indian nationals are advised to prioritize safety and stay informed about the evolving scenario in Venezuela.
