COThe newly elected Vice President of Colombia, José Manuel Restrepo, stated that recent meetings in Washington strengthened dialogue channels with the United States government and confirmed America's willingness to advance a new phase in bilateral relations. The delegation representing the incoming president met with top officials from the administration of President Donald Trump, including the Secretary of State, Treasury Secretary, Commerce Secretary, Energy Secretary, and other high-ranking officials. These discussions focused on cooperation in areas such as security, investment, trade, energy, and economic development. Restrepo emphasized that these talks reflect the U.S. government's interest in building a relationship based on trust and mutual benefit. He highlighted that Colombia has high-level interlocutors and that the 'Patria Milagro' vision of President-elect Abelardo De La Espriella comes with open doors to work alongside international allies.
