After the 2002 Venezuelan coup d'état attempt Pedro Carmona, president of the Venezuelan Federation of Chambers of Commerce (FEDECAMARAS) who served briefly as interim President of Venezuela when Hugo Chávez was removed from power, was placed under house arrest, but he was able to gain asylum in the Colombian embassy after an anti-Chávez protest drew away his security detail.

The foreign relations of Venezuela had since the early twentieth century been particularly strong with the United States. However, since the election of Hugo Chávez as President of Venezuela in 1998, Venezuela's foreign policy differed substantially from that of previous Venezuelan governments. This change in foreign policy direction continues under the current president Nicolás Maduro.
The foreign policy of the Hugo Chávez administration concerns the policy initiatives made by Venezuela under its former President, Hugo Chávez, towards other states. Chávez's foreign policy may be roughly divided into that concerned with United States-Venezuela relations and that concerned with Venezuela's relations with other states, particularly those in Latin America and developing countries on other continents. In many respects the policies of the Chávez government were substantially different from the previous administrations that governed Venezuela.
Bernardo Álvarez Herrera was Venezuela's ambassador to the United States from 2003 to 2010 and Deputy Minister of Foreign Relations.
