The Venezuelan ambassador in the Dominican Republic, Alí de Jesús Uzcategui, says that diplomatic and trade relations between the two countries will continue even though the Dominican authorities did not recognize the government of Nicolas Maduro at the Organization of American States (OAS).
He claimed everything is working harmoniously. Regarding the current situation in Venezuela, he said that despite the call of the opposition and the United States for military and civilian protests against Maduro, authorities are working to uphold constitutional order.
He went on to say that he had not asked for additional security at the embassy but that the police were watching the area as a preventive measure.
The position of the Dominican Republic at the OAS was that through dialogue with all of the parties, Venezuelans could reach national reconciliation and a new electoral process.
