BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — The presidents of Colombia and Venezuela announced Friday that the years-long closure of their countries’ unusual border to goods will end Sept. 26.
The announcement of the reopening of border bridges comes a month after Gustavo Petro was sworn in as Colombia’s first leftist president, initiating a thaw in relations between his country and the government of Nicolás Maduro. The leaders tweeted the announcement.
“We have the government’s commitment to restore fraternal relations,” Petro said.
Bridges are lately open to foot traffic. Limited shipment of goods on a bridge is permitted.
