Seven years ago, the United States closed its embassy in Caracas at the behest of then-Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. But since Maduro was captured earlier this year, both countries have expressed a need to improve their relations.
On Saturday, Dogu arrived in the Venezuelan capital.
“My team and I are ready to work,” she said in a post published by the embassy on X.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil writes in a post on Telegram that Dogu's arrival in the country is part of a joint plan to "manage and resolve existing differences through diplomatic dialogue."
A chargé d'affaires is the head of a diplomatic mission in the absence of a full ambassador.
