Russian Foreign Ministry notes prospects for the development of relations between Russia and Colombia

The Russian Foreign Ministry told Izvestia about mutual interest in the intensification of political dialog between Russia and Colombia.

"We note with satisfaction the mutual interest in intensifying political dialog, expanding inter-parliamentary cooperation, strengthening trade and economic cooperation. We see significant reserves in the cultural, scientific and educational spheres. We will continue close cooperation in the UN, primarily in the interests of supporting peacebuilding processes in Colombia. In the coming year we have a good reason for new meetings - in July we will celebrate 90 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and Colombia," said Director of the Latin American Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander Shchetinin.

On November 14, the foreign ministers of Russia and Colombia met in Moscow.
