Colombia and the Caribbean: from periphery to strategy

The article discusses Colombia's geographical position in the Caribbean region and argues that despite its strategic location, Colombia has historically focused its foreign policy primarily on relations with the United States and the Andean region, leaving the Caribbean on the periphery. The author highlights the importance of the Greater Caribbean as a geopolitical area with significant maritime routes, energy resources, migration corridors, and international competition among global powers. While countries like Mexico, Venezuela, and Cuba have recognized the region's significance, Colombia has not fully embraced its role as a Caribbean nation. The article emphasizes the need for Colombia to reorient its foreign policy by leveraging its Caribbean territories, such as San Andrés, Providencia, and Santa Catalina, as platforms for regional cooperation and influence.
