I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.

The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. Under all circumstances, the principles of international law and the UN Charter must be respected. We call for restraint.

The safety of EU citizens in the country is our top priority.

Nimba County's closure of bush schools aligns with Chief Zanzan Karwor's proclamation on Feb 6, 2023, to ban #FGM in #Liberia. The ban shows #Liberia's commitment to eliminating harmful cultural practices while preserving positive traditions. #InitiationWithoutMutilation. #EndFGM

Every Friday the Embassy honours the Swedish custom “fika”, a coffee break with treats shared with friends.

This Friday fika is extra special as we celebrate Liberia’s peaceful election day with a traditional Swedish cream cake. 🎂🎉🇱🇷

We could not agree more! Did you know that since 2018, Swedish law deems sex without consent rape, regardless of whether threats or violence was involved? Because sex should always 👏be 👏voluntary👏 - never forced or coerced.
