The delegation, led by Chargé d'Affaires Andrés Mangiarotti, was warmly welcomed by Deputy Foreign Minister Leopoldo Sahores upon their return.

In an official statement shared on social media, the Argentine Foreign Ministry disclosed that the diplomatic, military, and administrative staff from the Argentine Embassy in Venezuela, along with their families, had to depart the country in response to a summons issued by the government of Nicolás Maduro on July 29.

Following the expulsion, Brazil took on the responsibility of managing the diplomatic representation and protection of the asylum seekers on Thursday.
