Nepal has responded to the US-Venezuela tensions. Issuing a press release on Wednesday night, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it is closely monitoring the events taking place in Venezuela.

Nepal has also urged all parties to exercise restraint. 'Nepal calls on all parties concerned to exercise maximum restraint and prevent escalation of tensions,' the statement said.

Nepal has also stressed the need to fully respect the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of states as enshrined in the United Nations Charter. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that disputes should be resolved peacefully through dialogue, diplomacy and mutual understanding.

The US military has taken over the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, in an unexpected attack and captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. US President Donald Trump has announced that the US will continue to govern Venezuela until a 'safe and proper transfer of power' is achieved.

The US carried out an airstrike in Caracas at around 2 am local time on Saturday. At that time, 11 explosions were heard. The Venezuelan government then issued a statement and declared a state of emergency. US President Trump immediately announced that Maduro and his wife were in the custody of US forces.
