The director of the Association of Colombians in Venezuela, Juan Carlos Tanus, urged the governments of Venezuela and Colombia to create a population registry of migrants in order to honestize the figures and determine the future public policies that these sister nations promote in the year 2023.
during the program In the airbroadcast by Venezuelan Television (VTV), Juan Carlos Tanus indicated that from the association they consider it essential that the Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, carry out an expanded registry of Colombians in all migratory conditions in which they are in Venezuela with the aim of reordering the figures and establishing policies more effective public
Tanus predicted that diplomatic relations between Venezuela and Colombia “are on the right and well-founded path.”
Similarly, the director of the Association of Colombians in Venezuela, pointed out that in order to consolidate binational cooperation between sister nations, it is important that governments take the prudent and necessary time so that the agreements that are being established are successfully developed.
In this sense, he considers it pertinent to review the legal instruments that existed in the past that gave good results at the time in order to “give strength and shape to what is to come.”
The Association of Colombians in Venezuela believes that the border must have a principle of reciprocity so that Venezuela and Colombia become an extension of the commercial area for the benefit of both peoples.
To do this, they propose to consider small Colombian producers for the exchange of products in the Venezuelan territory, despite the fact that they do not qualify in the large production scale.
He also specified that the mafias that continue to operate on both borders with human trafficking and irregular migration must be addressed.
Tanus said that these proposals have already been presented to Presidents Gustavo Petro and Nicolás Maduro, as part of the preparation of the Association of Colombians in Venezuela for the official reopening of the land and air border between the two countries on September 26.
