The diplomat noted that the foreign minister will fulfill a joint agenda with her counterpart, Luis Gilberto Murillo, “in order to renew the ties of friendship that have united the nations for more than 200 years.”

The love, affection and brotherhood of our peoples must always be superior, Romero wrote about the visit of the Argentine official.

Colombia and Argentina have gone through days of diplomatic tension after President Javier Milei offended his counterpart, Gustavo Petro, during an interview with the US channel CNN in late March, when he called him a terrorist murderer.

In response to the insults, on March 27, the Colombian Foreign Ministry described as “degrading the way in which Milei referred to the president of Colombia.”

The communication then added that in this context, “the Colombian Government orders the expulsion of diplomats from the Argentine Embassy in Colombia.”
