Colombia’s foreign minister will meet with her newly-appointed Venezuelan counterpart in Caracas Friday.
Minister Maria Angela Holguin will make the trip in the wake of Elias Jaua being appointed the new Venezuelan Foreign Minister.
According to newspaper El Espectador, Jaua noted that he wishes to “strengthen, with concrete actions, all areas of cooperation.”
After he was contacted by Foreign Ministers from Brazil, Peru and Chile, among other South and Central American nations, Jaua expressed his gratitude for the “friendly and fraternal gesture of his counterparts, while I express my commitment to continue taking steps to consolidate the Bolivarian project of a united Latin America and Caribbean, according to the guidance established by the government of President Hugo Chavez.”
