VOICED : Colombia y Venezuela terminan de abrir su frontera

Venezuela and Colombia have reopened their borders, symbolized by the opening of the Atanasio Girardot bridge. This marks a significant step in restoring diplomatic relations under President Gustavo Petro. The bridge, built in 2016, was never inaugurated due to past tensions, including a 2019 blockade by Venezuelan military forces to prevent humanitarian aid led by Juan Guaidó. The reopening aims to foster peace, economic growth, and restore trade, which had significantly declined from $7.2 billion in 2008 to $400 million in 2021.
