Previously heading the International Coffee Organization (ICO) from 2002 to 2010 and acting as Colombia’s ambassador to the United Nations (UN), Osorio was elected President of the UN’s Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in January 2013. Later that year in November he was appointed as the Colombian Ambassador to the United Kingdom in London by President Juan Manuel Santos.
