Security operations in Caracas: Malaysia opposes all forms of foreign intervention

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 4 — Malaysia opposes all forms of foreign intervention in the internal affairs of other states, as well as the threat or use of force, said the Foreign Affairs Ministry (Wisma Putra).

It is closely monitoring the unfolding developments, following reports of security operations in the capital on Saturday.

“These are fundamental principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and international law. Malaysia consistently upholds the importance of the peaceful resolution of disputes through dialogue, respect for sovereignty, and adherence to international norms.”

“At this critical time, it is crucial for the concerned parties to exercise maximum restraint and seek peaceful solutions through dialogue and diplomacy,” Wisma Putra said in a statement today.

In parallel with these developments, its priority remains the safety and well-being of Malaysian citizens abroad.

The Embassy of Malaysia in Caracas has contacted registered Malaysians in the country, and all confirmed registered citizens are currently safe and accounted for.

“The Embassy is actively monitoring the situation on the ground and stands ready to provide necessary consular assistance should the need arise,” said Wisma Putra.

Malaysians in Venezuela who require consular assistance may contact the Embassy of Malaysia in Caracas by phone at (58-212) 720 4257 or by email at mwcaracas@kln.gov.my.

It will continue to monitor developments and issue further updates as appropriate.

“Malaysians in Venezuela are advised to remain vigilant, follow local authorities’ instructions, and maintain close communication with the Embassy,” said Wisma Putra.
