New UK chargé d’affaires
Colin Dick was appointed as chargé d’affaires of the United Kingdom in Venezuela on August 15, replacing diplomat Becks Buckingham, who had been in Venezuela since 2021.
Venezuela and the United Kingdom have maintained tense relations since 2018, following the nonrecognition of the presidential elections of that year and the freezing of tons of gold in the Bank of England belonging to the Venezuelan state. The UK has followed Washington’s failed “regime”-change operation using the legal fiction of Juan Guaidó interim government.
