The crisis in Venezuela

This is a political and economic crisis with a major humanitarian impact. A large number of people have left Venezuela, putting considerable pressure on countries in the region.

Norway has on various occasions called on the political actors of the country to put the interests of the population first and do their utmost to find a political and inclusive solution to the conflict. From May to August 2019, Norway facilitated negotiations between the delegations of Nicolás Maduro and Juan Guaidó in Oslo and Barbados, at their request. 

Norway remains in contact with the political and social actors of Venezuela on a regular basis.

We also maintain a broad-based engagement and will continue to be a reliable partner to the people and countries of the region.
