The Government and the people of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago expresses its firm solidarity with the Government and the people of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the aftermath of powerful earthquakes that struck off the nation's coast on 24 June 2026.
We note with concern the reports of significant seismic activity throughout Venezuela and in particular its capital, Caracas. The Government of Trinidad and Tobago remains mindful of the vulnerability of our region to natural disasters and shares the anxiety of our neighbours during this challenging period of assessment and recovery.
The people of Trinidad and Tobago cherishes the fraternal bond with the people of Venezuela, and in the spirit of the enduring friendship and close bilateral ties between our two nations, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago stands prepared to provide any requested support and assistance to the Venezuelan authorities, where possible.
The Ministry of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs continues to monitor the situation closely through our diplomatic mission in Caracas, which was not significantly impacted by the event. Our thoughts remain with those affected by this event, and we offer our steadfast support for the safety and resilience of the Venezuelan people.
