Venezuela to open an embassy in Kazakhstan

Venezuelan authorities did not specify when the embassy would be opened in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan


Venezuela will formalize diplomatic relations with former Soviet nation Kazakhstan by opening an embassy in that country.

The decision was announced by Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Delcy Rodríguez, during her visit to that nation, in the context of a tour aimed at getting international funding to contain the current decline in oil prices.

Kazakhstan is a Eurasian nation which borders with Russia, China, and Mongolia. It is rich in oil, gas, and uranium and its President, Nursultan Äbishuly Nazarbayev, is a former communist who has amended the Constitution several times to remain in office through elections.

Despite the objections made by some countries and organizations to the political regime, Kazakhstan is one of former Soviet nations that has grown and thrived in the past few years.
