"The relationship with Venezuela should not be cut off. We are brothers.

According to Agence France -Presse reported on August 28, Venezuela Foreign Minister Lamirez welcomed Belnettidi's arrival and pushed the "historical bond" of the two countries and "required us to work together for the happiness of the two peoples."

According to CCTV news reports, Venezuelan President Maduro had previously appointed the new Ambassador to Columbia and called on the construction of the border trade zone in the border areas of the two countries to promote the development of border trade.

In addition, the two countries have announced their plans to restore military relations.

On August 11, Colombian President Petro and Venezuelan President Madro jointly announced that they planned to restore the diplomatic relations between the two countries in 2019.

On February 23, 2019, as the Venezuela opposition tried to turn over the transit of trucks full of foods and medicines from Columbia's territory, Venezuela announced that it had been interrupted with Colombia. The two countries closed at each other's embassies and consulates, and flights were grounded. In addition, from 2019 to October 2021, the land boundary between 2,000 kilometers between Colombia and Venezuela was also closed for pedestrians to pass.
