Venezuela confirms resumption of full diplomatic ties with U.S.

Venezuela and the United States have decided to resume full diplomatic relations with their ambassadors returning to the respective capitals on June 25, the Venezuelan foreign ministry said in a statement.

Earlier Thursday, the U.S. State Department confirmed that the two countries will resume their full diplomatic representation "very soon."

With Ambassador Patrick D. Duddy's return to Caracas, "full diplomatic representative will resume," U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters in Washington, adding that the ambassador is expected to arrive in Venezuela "very soon."

The U.S.-Venezuela relations have been tense in recent years. In September 2008, President Hugo Chavez ordered the expulsion of the U.S. ambassador, in solidarity with the Bolivian government's decision to expel the U.S. ambassador in La Paz.

In retaliation, the Bush administration ordered the expulsion of the Venezuelan ambassador in Washington.
