Colombia Reopens Border With Venezuela After 14 Months
BOGOTA Colombia on June 2 began what its government called a gradual reopening of its border with Venezuela after a 14-month closure intended to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Colombia, whose porous border with Venezuela extends roughly 1,380 miles (2,220 km), has been the chief destination for Venezuelans fleeing their country’s social and economic crisis. The two countries don’t maintain diplomatic relations.
The gradual opening of river and land crossings was authorized starting at midnight on June 2, according to a resolution published by the Andean nation’s interior ministry. Biosecurity measures in light of the pandemic established by Colombia’s health ministry must be followed during crossings, the ministry said.
