SAO PAULO, ⁠Jan ⁠11 (Reuters) - ‍Brazil will return to Argentina ‍the responsibility for its ​diplomatic representation and ​custody of its embassy in Venezuela, the Brazilian Foreign Ministry ​confirmed late on Saturday.

Itamaraty said that both governments ‌have now been notified of the ‌decision officially. Brazil has not ‌issued a formal statement or provided additional details.

The Argentine ‍embassy in Brazil did not ⁠respond immediately to a request for comment.
