"We must search for places for lease to reopen the consulates in Maracaibo, Tachira, and San Cristobal cities. "After seven months of President Gustavo Petro’s inauguration ceremony and the re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Caracas, nearly 4 million compatriots who live in Venezuela expect the consular system to operate normally," said the Colombian Public Prosecutor’s Office. On Sunday, the Colombian Foreign Affairs Ministry announced that it will reopen its consulates in Caracas, Maracaibo, Tachira, and San Cristobal in Venezuela within a maximum of four months.
