He commented that they will hold talks on the subject with the United States. “Conviasa has a restriction, or rather a decision that comes from the United States government by having it included in the Clinton list. And although there are countries that admit that this is possible, such as Panama and Ecuador, in the Colombian case we are analyzing it very carefully, and of course with the revision of the note”, he added.
