VERIFICATION

In a move to reorganise its foreign service amid rising tensions with the United States. The Venezuelan government announced the closure of its embassies in Norway and Australia, on October 25, 2025.

The statement described these closures as a strategic reallocation of resources. It further noted that consular services for Venezuelans in Norway and Australia will still be available through other diplomatic missions.

The statement also mentioned plans to open embassies in Zimbabwe and Burkina Faso, describing it as a means to strengthen ties with nations that oppose colonialism and hegemonic pressures. As of now, no official statement or evidence confirms that the Venezuelan embassy in Burkina Faso has been formally opened or is operational.

CONCLUSION 

The claim that Venezuela has opened an embassy in Burkina Faso is MISLEADING. Verified reports from credible sources confirm that Venezuela has only announced plans to establish an embassy in Burkina Faso.
