Listing after a contested PROD. This article makes no assertion of why the subject is notable, either within the scope of world diplomacy and history or even to the two nations involved. Although the article links to both Foreign relations of Venezuela and Foreign relations of Japan, the scant information in the article was never apparently considered for inclusion there first to give it a chance to grow through later edits until such time as it may warrant its own article. The two "references" aren't even cited from the text; they are simply very recent news items that do nothing to improve the article and in fact damage it through WP:NOTNEWS.
