Venezuela rejects inconsistent statement from the Colombian Chancellory
“The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects the inconsistent statement from the Colombian Chancellory published this Sunday, August 29, 2021, which seeks to increase tensions between countries, generating false conflicts in interactions that can be resolved with the coordination of local authorities, while making a sincere call to the Neo Granadean government to maintain formal contacts that allow permanent communication of all border issues in a practical way and without fanfare.
In this regard, it considers that due to the complexities in the common border, these types of issues require diplomatic coordination. However, the unwillingness of the Government of Colombia to establish communication channels makes it difficult to work more efficiently in favor of legality at the border.
