Venezuelan foreign minister Delcy Rodríguez and Colombian president Gustavo Petro have reached an agreement to jointly combat criminal groups and smuggling networks operating along the shared border between the two countries. During the meeting, Petro emphasized that "the border cannot belong to anyone but the people of Venezuela and Colombia," and Rodríguez, in turn, announced "decisive steps against drug traffickers" that are already being taken. This cooperation, aimed at strengthening stability in the border areas, marks a new phase in bilateral relations, shifting the focus to jointly confronting illegal armed groups that have terrorized local residents for years.
