The statement made by Eluned Morgan, the Welsh First Minister, on 3 January 2026.
The ongoing situation in Venezuela is deeply concerning. Like many around the world, people in Wales are following events closely and our thoughts are with those affected.
As the Prime Minister has made clear, the UK was not involved in the US military action. The priority now must be de escalation, the protection of civilian life and renewed efforts through diplomacy and international institutions, in line with international law.
There is widespread hope for a path to dialogue, democracy and peace. The Venezuelan people deserve a future built on their own democratic choices.
