BOGOTA, 15 Mar. (Colprensa / EP) - The governments of Argentina and Colombia have re-launched on Monday its diplomatic and trade relations in a meeting between foreign ministers of both nations, which had as main aim to revitalize bilateral ties. Foreign Minister of Argentina, Hector Marcos Timerman, met with his Colombian counterpart, Maria Angela Holguin, to seal the "revival of relations" between the two South American countries, as diplomats said after a meeting that held in the headquarters of the San Carlos Palace in Bogota.
According to Holguin said, in recent years bilateral relations had maintained "a little quiet, but now they have returned with a new agenda. "We wanted to have a close business relationship, so we decided to make a business forum in a couple of months, where entrepreneurs meet Argentina and Colombia and culminating with a meeting of presidents," he said.
Also, Timerman said that the president of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, would visit Colombia to meet with his counterpart from that country, Juan Manuel Santos. "Both President Santos as President Kirchner wanted to deepen the historic ties between Colombia and Argentina, making them the height of the importance of the two countries in the region and the world," said the chancellor.
