The Government of The Bahamas has urged Bahamians not to travel to Venezuela, citing the current security situation in the South American country.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it takes note of the statement issued by the CARICOM Bureau of the Conference of Heads of Government on 3 January 2026 and supports its contents.
“Of particular importance to The Bahamas is that all parties involved act in accordance with international law,” the statement said.
The ministry also expressed concern through diplomatic channels for the safety and security of a Bahamian national who is currently unlawfully detained in a Venezuelan prison.
