Newly appointed Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elías Jaua Milano congratulated the country's Ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS), Roy Chaderton Matos, for his intervention at the session of the OAS Permanent Council on January 13. Jaua said that Chaderton responded in a fair and timely manner to Panamanian Ambassador Guillermo Cochez in defense of the dignity of the Venezuelan people and President Hugo Chávez.

On January 16, Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli told the Venezuelan foreign minister that Ambassador Cochez's opinion on the situation of Venezuela represented neither the Panamanian People nor the Government, and asked him to give President Hugo Chávez and his family his excuses, a press release read.

Similarly, the Panamanian president informed the Venezuelan foreign minister about the communiqué promptly issued by the Panamanian Foreign Ministry in rejection of Cochez's statements at the Permanent Council.

Nevertheless, as it is already known, President Maduro changed his mind.
