This Saturday, the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, holds a meeting with his Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro who is making an official visit to the country for the second time after taking office in the sister nation of New Granada.
The meeting takes place at the Miraflores Palace, in Caracas; and it becomes the second meeting between both leaders on Venezuelan soil that aims to evaluate the cooperation agreements between both nations.
The debate that takes place in Office 1 will address issues of bilateral interest based on the previously defined road map in strategic areas, reports the Presidential Press.
The dialogue takes place less than a week after the reopening of the “Atanasio Girardot” International Bridge, known as the Puente de Tienditas, an action that consolidates the total opening of land borders by enabling passage for private, cargo and passenger transport.
The first meeting between the two presidents took place in November of last year, where they signed a joint declaration, as well as signed cooperation agreements on agricultural and petrochemical matters, AVN points out.
Likewise, they agreed to evaluate the reintegration of Venezuela into the Inter-American Human Rights System.
With the arrival of Petro to power in Colombia, diplomatic relations between both nations were reestablished, with the appointment of ambassadors.
In addition, the partial reopening of the Colombian-Venezuelan border was agreed last September.
Subsequently, on January 1, the full opening of the more than 2,000 kilometers of border was carried out.
