Both leaders are presently attending the 78th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

Both sides agreed to promote some actions ahead of the rising flows of migrants (over 350,000 so far) trying to cross the Darien border jungle on their way to the United States.

Cortizo and Petro insisted on the pressing need to promote a safe and orderly migration in order to safeguard the integrity of human life, according to an official note. So, both presidents agreed to reactivate the Good Neighbor Commission, created in 1992 to address bilateral issues and strengthen ties between both nations.
