Colombia rebuilding with US help: State Department

by Javier Emilio Valencia September 15, 2009

Colombia news - State magazine

Colombia has rebuilt its institutions and reestablished the legitimacy of its democracy with U.S. resources, the U.S. State Department’s magazine says.

According to State, a monthly publication by the U.S. State Department, the Colombian-U.S. marriage through plan Colombia has brought important solution to the Country’s problems.

Once encircled by terrorism and fearless drug traffickers, Colombia now enjoys a military with the capacity to go after the guerilla fighters and drug cartels, the diplomatic magazine says.

The diplomatic publication also states that the US $ 6 billion assistance by the USA has been vital, not only to combat terrorism and drug trafficking, but also to further social programs, which foster alternative development, expanded economic opportunities for Colombian minorities, social services for the internally displaced, and the protection of unionists.

The story, which was written by a U.S. consular officer posted in Colombia, features pictures of Bogota, Cartagena, Juan Valdes, and Juanes.
