Venezuela announces closure of embassy in Norway post Oslo's Nobel handover to opposition leader Machado

Caracas/Oslo, Oct 14 (UNI) Venezuela has announced the closure of its embassy in Norway, just days after opposition leader María Corina Machado received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Issuing a brief statement with few details, Caracas did not mention Machado's Nobel win, and termed the embassy shutdown part of a "restructuring" of its foreign service.
Norway's foreign ministry confirmed the move, noting that Venezuela had given no official reason, though it's largely being seen as part of a politically charged response to Machado being given the Nobel Peace Prize, as per reports.
