Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selakovic met today in Bogota with the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, Alvaro Lejva Duran.
Selakovic said that Serbia is clearly determined to develop even more strongly the overall relations and cooperation with Colombia.
Pointing out that 11 years have passed since the last visit to Colombia at the ministerial level, he said that it is necessary to work on intensifying the political dialogue, which means more frequent meetings between the officials of the two countries.
Also, the Minister said that holding political consultations between the ministries of foreign affairs of the two countries would be an excellent opportunity to consider the possibilities and see the potential for improving bilateral cooperation.
Selakovic emphasised that there are significant potentials for cooperation in many areas, especially in agriculture, food industry, mining, but also tourism, education, culture and sports.
He informed his Colombian counterpart about the current situation in Kosovo and Metohija and efforts to find a compromise solution to this issue, which is of key importance for our country, stressing that Serbia is committed to peace and stability in the region.
Minister Selakovic, in his capacity of special envoy of the President of Serbia, will attend tomorrow the inauguration ceremony of the new President of Colombia, Gustavo Francisco Petro Urrego. During his stay in Bogota, the Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs will have several bilateral meetings with officials of Latin American and Caribbean countries.
